Every time we get together, Kahlil, you make me smile
We just sit and share a laugh, and talk a little while
You’ve got this sweet and funny way of lighting up the room
It’s such a joy just being near you, chasing out the gloom
ChorusI know I haven't always been the perfect mom to you
But I love you more than words can say, my whole life through
Whenever you might need me, I will always be right here
To listen and to hold you close, to wipe away a tear
I don’t know what I’d ever do without you by my side
I'm just so glad you're still in my life
Verse 2I look at you and see a man so wonderful and kind
The loving father you've become brings peace into my mind
You give so much to those you love, amazing as can be
We have so much fun together, just my son and me
ChorusI know I haven't always been the perfect mom to you
But I love you more than words can say, my whole life through
Whenever you might need me, I will always be right here
To listen and to hold you close, to wipe away a tear
I don’t know what I’d ever do without you by my side
I'm just so glad you're still in my life
BridgeIf I didn't have you with me, I don't know where I would go
I just need to take a minute, just to let you know
Whatever happened in the past, I'm promising you now
I will show up when you call me, I will make it up somehow
Final ChorusI know I haven't always been the perfect mom to you
But I love you more than words can say, my whole life through
Whenever you might need me, Kahlil, I'll be right here
To listen and to hold you close, to wipe away a tear
I don’t know what I’d ever do without you by my side
I'm just so glad you're still in my life
