I Love You Too, Mom

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a picture on the shelf A frozen piece of time A smile that holds a thousand words That never leave my mind The phone still sits beside the bed Like it's waiting for the call And some nights I swear I hear your voice Echo down the hall [Chorus] Bubba, I love you I know you hear me still Somewhere past the stars tonight Beyond these tears I spill And I hear you whisper back to me The way you always would "I love you too, Mom" Oh, I love you too, Mom [Verse 2] We had our words that final day Lord, I wish I could take them back But love was never what we lost Even when the sky turned black Eight hours was all that stood between My voice and your goodbye But Curtis, you always knew my heart Even when the tears ran dry [Chorus] Bubba, I love you I know you hear me still Somewhere past the stars tonight Beyond these tears I spill And I hear you whisper back to me The way you always would "I love you too, Mom" Oh, I love you too, Mom [Bridge] And Jade, she has your eyes Your laughter and your light She's my connection back to you My reason every night If only they had asked me I'd have taken your place But you left her here to carry on Your smile upon her face [Verse 3] You should have had so many years To watch your life unfold To see your baby girl grow up And watch your Mom grow old But I hope you're looking down right now At everything I do And let there be no doubt at all My heart belongs to you [Chorus] Bubba, I love you I know you hear me still Somewhere past the stars tonight Beyond these tears I spill And I hear you whisper back to me The way you always would "I love you too, Mom" Oh, I love you too, Mom [Outro] The ache runs deep but so does love It never goes away Bubba, I love you I'll say it every day
