December twenty-second, two thousand and fifteen
The most beautiful moment that I'd ever seen
Holding my only child, looking in your eyes
I saw a handsome angel, my ultimate prize
I remember those late nights, just feeding you
Watching you grow, seeing all that you do
You had that sweet smile right from the start
D'morea, you instantly captured my heart
ChorusNow you're eleven, shining so bright
My sweet, handsome boy, my guiding light
Since you came along, I finally comprehend
God made me a better mother, a better person and friend
You're my only child, my dream come true
D'morea, my world is better because of you
Verse 2Time moves so fast, it feels like yesterday
You were just a toddler, finding your way
Barely two years old, out in the sun
Helping your dad get the yard work done
Those little hands trying to lift and to pull
Every single memory makes my spirit full
You've always been kind, with a soul so deep
You're the greatest promise that I get to keep
ChorusNow you're eleven, shining so bright
My sweet, handsome boy, my guiding light
Since you came along, I finally comprehend
God made me a better mother, a better person and friend
You're my only child, my dream come true
D'morea, my world is better because of you
BridgeEvery birthday candle, every passing year
I thank the Lord above that you are here
Through the lessons of life and the grace from above
You taught me the meaning of unconditional love
Yeah, you showed me how to grow
More than you will ever know
Final ChorusNow you're eleven, shining so bright
My sweet, handsome boy, my guiding light
Since you came along, I finally comprehend
God made me a better mother, a better person and friend
You're my only child, my dream come true
D'morea, my world is better because of you
