“Goodbye to the Red Plates”
Contemporary Christian · FreeCustomSong Original
I think about the hours we spend, just the two of us
You’re my mother, but you’ve always been someone I can trust
Terry, you’ve got a good heart, shining in the light
You know exactly how to make the heavy things feel right
Whenever I am looking for a place to feel at home
I just look to you and know I'll never walk alone
ChorusBecause you are so special, and you are so loved
When the world gets crazy, you're the one I'm thinking of
No matter what I'm going through, you're always there for me
You give me everything I need to be exactly who I'll be
I just want to say I love you, loud and true
I am so lucky to have a mom like you
Verse 2We share a lot of secrets, we share a lot of laughs
Like making sure those certain dishes end up in the trash
I'm sorry to my dad, but it's a little game we play
Sneaking round and throwing all his old red plates away
We toss them in the garbage and we try to hide our smiles
It's a memory I'm gonna carry for a million miles
ChorusBecause you are so special, and you are so loved
When the world gets crazy, you're the one I'm thinking of
No matter what I'm going through, you're always there for me
You give me everything I need to be exactly who I'll be
I just want to say I love you, loud and true
I am so lucky to have a mom like you
BridgeThrough every single chapter, through every passing year
Whenever I need comfort, I know that you are near
I cherish all the quiet times you choose to spend with me
Your beautiful and open heart is plain for all to see
Final ChorusTerry, you are special, and you are so loved
When the world gets crazy, you're the one I'm thinking of
No matter what I'm going through, you're always there for me
You give me everything I need to be exactly who I'll be
I just want to say I love you, loud and true
I am so lucky to have a mom like you
