Eddie

I’ve loved you since the moment that I knew I carried you

My firstborn son, my answered prayer come true

But looking at the shadows and the struggles in my life

I had to make a sacrifice that cut me like a knife

I’m sorry that I let you and your sister go

When you were two and a half, I need your heart to know

I only wanted you to have the things I couldn't give

But not a day went by I didn't wonder how you'd live

I'm so ecstatic that we finally reconnected here

To wipe away the past and hold you near

Through all the years and miles that I've been dreaming of

There is nothing stronger than a mother's love

I look at you today, a handsome, kind-hearted man

Always reaching out to help somebody when you can

You're patient and you're loving with your kids and family

And seeing who you are is such a healing grace to me

I’m sorry that I let you and your sister go

When you were two and a half, I need your heart to know

I only wanted you to have the things I couldn't give

But not a day went by I didn't wonder how you'd live

I'm so ecstatic that we finally reconnected here

To wipe away the past and hold you near

Through all the years and miles that I've been dreaming of

There is nothing stronger than a mother's love

So if you ever need to talk or just to blow off steam

I'm here twenty-four seven, we're a reunited team

No matter if it's morning or the middle of the night

Eddie, just reach out to me and I will make it right

I’m sorry that I let you and your sister go

When you were two and a half, I need your heart to know

I only wanted you to have the things I couldn't give

But not a day went by I didn't wonder how you'd live

I'm so ecstatic that we finally reconnected here

To wipe away the past and hold you near

Through all the years and miles that I've been dreaming of

There is nothing stronger than a mother's love

I love you, Eddie, with a mother's love
