By The Statue With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Started as a friendship back in middle school Two kids laughing, breaking every rule Somewhere down the line my heart just knew Every road I'd walk would lead to you Crashed your prom, no invite in my hand Asked you for a tango, took a stand [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in more The steady hand behind every door When the weight is heavy on my chest You remind me I can be my best Through the miles, through the tears we've cried Mashul, you're the blessing by my side [Verse 2] By that statue where we spoke our truth I gave you every promise of my youth The ocean stretched between our days Four long years of holding on through haze But our love was louder than the miles We met in Dubai wearing matching smiles [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in more The steady hand behind every door When the weight is heavy on my chest You remind me I can be my best Through the miles, through the tears we've cried Mashul, you're the blessing by my side [Bridge] I know I'm working when I should be home I know you carry more than you let show You still lift me when I'm falling low You make me better, more than you could know [Verse 3] Mila's laughter echoing the hall Little Eva coming warm this summer You built this family with your gentle hands A love far greater than I ever planned I see you in our daughters' eyes so bright Mashul, you're my morning and my night [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in more The steady hand behind every door When the weight is heavy on my chest You remind me I can be my best Through the miles, through the tears we've cried You're the blessing standing by my side [Outro] From that first dance to forever more Happy Mother's Day, you're who I'm grateful for
