“Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen”
Country Ballad · FreeCustomSong Original
June twentieth, two thousand and six, I was only sixteen
Luis, my firstborn son, you changed everything
You're the mirror of my soul, in a beautiful love story now
Then Julian, my baby boy, you came and showed me how
June sixteenth, I was seventeen, with a mother's tender care
Nobody understands my heart like the quiet bond we share
ChorusI gave you life, but you gave me a reason to live
Every ounce of love I have is yours for me to give
To the moon and back, to infinity and beyond
Nothing in this world could ever break our bond
Forever and always, until my very last breath
I'm your biggest supporter, I love you more than life itself
Verse 2I was eighteen on July eighth, two thousand and eight
On your daddy’s thirtieth birthday, LeAnna, you changed my fate
My baby and my only girl, my God-given best friend
Watching you three grow up close is a blessing without end
Through the heavy days and the happy tears, we made it through
God knows I needed you as much as you needed me too
ChorusI gave you life, but you gave me a reason to live
Every ounce of love I have is yours for me to give
To the moon and back, to infinity and beyond
Nothing in this world could ever break our bond
Forever and always, until my very last breath
I'm your biggest supporter, I love you more than life itself
BridgeWatching each of you turn eighteen was a bittersweet goodbye
The happiest and saddest tears that I could ever cry
You're stepping out into the world, standing strong and free
And as you need me less, I find I need you more with me
But I thank the Lord for Luis, Julian, and LeAnna every day
I'll be right here behind you, every step along the way
Final Chorus'Cause I gave you life, and you gave me my reason to live
Every ounce of love I have is yours for me to give
To the moon and back, to infinity and beyond
Nothing in this world could ever break our bond
Forever and always, until my very last breath
My sons and my daughter, I love you more than life itself
