Everette

Everette, you've got a spirit so sweet

A gentle soul that makes my life complete

Even as a boy, you stood by my side

My fierce protector, my joy and my pride

You've got a kindness that the whole world can see

But you always save that special warmth for me

Oh, Everette, no matter how tall you grow

There is one thing I need you to know

You will always be my heart, my baby, my son

The brightest light when the day is done

Through every season, right from the start

Everette, you will always be my heart

I think about that day, our little movie date

Just me and my boy, but we got there late

The screen was sold out, we turned back around

Walking to the car, hearing familiar sounds

Your buddies called your name, asked you to hang out

I smiled and said, "Go on," without a single doubt

Oh, Everette, no matter how tall you grow

There is one thing I need you to know

You will always be my heart, my baby, my son

The brightest light when the day is done

Through every season, right from the start

Everette, you will always be my heart

You looked at me and asked, "Mama, are you sure?"

I shook my head yes, but your love is so pure

You told your friends, "Naw, you gotta go away,

I'm hanging out with my Mama today."

Tears in my eyes, I was so deeply touched

A protector, a son, I love you so much

Oh, Everette, no matter how tall you grow

There is one thing I need you to know

You will always be my heart, my baby, my son

The brightest light when the day is done

Through every season, right from the start

Everette, you will always be my heart

My sweet boy, my baby, my heart
