Shirley

The years might turn the pages, the seasons come and go

But there’s a steady light inside me, a warmth I’ve come to know

To the world your name is Shirley, but you're everything to me

The deepest roots of who I am, the branches of my tree

Oh Mother, I will always love you

Through the highs and through the lows

I’ll never forget about you

Everywhere this journey goes

If the road gets long and heavy, if you're ever feeling blue

Please don't forget how much I love you

I hold onto the quiet moments, the gentle words you'd say

The way you made a safe place at the ending of the day

I carry all your wisdom, I carry all your grace

No matter where I wander, no one could take your place

Oh Mother, I will always love you

Through the highs and through the lows

I’ll never forget about you

Everywhere this journey goes

If the road gets long and heavy, if you're ever feeling blue

Please don't forget how much I love you

Time can move so quickly, it slips right through our hands

But the bond we share together is a rock that always stands

So if you ever doubt it, or feel a little low

I just want to remind you of the truth you need to know

Oh Mother, I will always love you

Through the highs and through the lows

I’ll never forget about you

Everywhere this journey goes

If the road gets long and heavy, if you're ever feeling blue

Please don't forget how much I love you

Shirley, don't forget how much I love you
