Donna

I met you in the quiet, before I saw the light

Safe inside your womb, you kept me warm through the night

You nourished me and held me, you gave me my whole life

Before I took a single breath, I knew your sacrifice

'Cause you give your all to others, let yourself just disappear

But a hug and an "I love you" is all you need to hear

You're Mom after all, my beautiful embrace

Donna, please always know you are my saving grace

You pour your cup out empty to make sure we are filled

A quiet kind of magic in the family you built

You step into the background, you let your own needs fade

Just to watch us walking in the sunshine that you made

'Cause you give your all to others, let yourself just disappear

But a hug and an "I love you" is all you need to hear

You're Mom after all, my beautiful embrace

Donna, please always know you are my saving grace

I know you've had a rough life, carrying the weight

But you never let the sorrow turn your heart to hate

You always just forgave us, whenever we would fall

An endless well of mercy, 'cause you're Mom after all

So let me wrap my arms around you, hold you for a while

I want to be the reason that you get to rest and smile

You never have to disappear, I see you standing clear

I'll whisper what you mean to me into your listening ear

'Cause you give your all to others, let yourself just disappear

But a hug and an "I love you" is all you need to hear

You're Mom after all, my beautiful embrace

Donna, please always know you are my saving grace

Mom, please always know you are my saving grace
