Dalton

The day that you were born remains the best day of my life

God gave me a beautiful boy, a light through any strife

I still recall the melodies you used to sing to me

Your little arms wrapped round my neck, as close as we could be

You always wanted to stay near, right by my side you'd play

I hold onto those memories as the years slip away

Oh, Dalton, it’s my greatest honor just to be your mom

You taught me unconditional love, my anchor in the calm

You’re stepping out into the world, a young man brave and tall

But when I look at you, I see the boy who had my all

I love you more than you could know, through every high and low

You’ll always be my little boy, no matter where you go

Now you lift that trumpet up and play a golden sound

The smartest, most compassionate young man I've ever found

You'd do anything for anyone, your kindness sets the tone

A truly amazing soul, with a rhythm all your own

The hugs are a little different now, you're almost fully grown

But I still see that little boy in every single tone

Oh, Dalton, it’s my greatest honor just to be your mom

You taught me unconditional love, my anchor in the calm

You’re stepping out into the world, a young man brave and tall

But when I look at you, I see the boy who had my all

I love you more than you could know, through every high and low

You’ll always be my little boy, no matter where you go

I know I've made mistakes sometimes, as any mother might

But I have loved you fiercely, through every day and night

More than anyone in this world, my heart belongs to you

I'll always be right here for you, whatever you go through

I thank the Lord for sending you, with every morning sun

I am beyond so proud of the man you have become

Keep playing your sweet music, keep shining your bright light

My beautiful boy Dalton, my greatest joy in sight

Oh, Dalton, it’s my greatest honor just to be your mom

You taught me unconditional love, my anchor in the calm

You’re stepping out into the world, a young man brave and tall

But when I look at you, I see the boy who had my all

I love you more than you could know, through every high and low

You’ll always be my little boy, no matter where you go
