Debbie

I don't need a faded photograph to take me back in time

The beauty of the life we share is always on my mind

It’s not just one big memory that stands out from the rest

It’s every single day I wake up knowing I am blessed

You've got a gentle way of walking through this life

A steady kind of caring that makes the heavy light

Oh, Debbie, you’re the heart that keeps me strong

The quiet place where all my hopes belong

You’re patient and you’re kind in everything you do

So I just want to say thank you for being you

Yeah, thank you, Mom, for simply being you

I see it in the little things, the way you make the time

To listen to my worries and give me peace of mind

There's never been a morning, no matter what I face

Where I didn't feel your loving and your quiet, steady grace

It's a daily kind of magic, as certain as the dawn

The reason I have courage to keep on keeping on

Oh, Debbie, you’re the heart that keeps me strong

The quiet place where all my hopes belong

You’re patient and you’re kind in everything you do

So I just want to say thank you for being you

Yeah, thank you, Mom, for simply being you

If I could gather up the days and lay them in a row

Every single one would show a love that overflows

For the warmth you freely give and the heavy loads you bear

I look around my life and see your spirit everywhere

Oh, Debbie, you’re the heart that keeps me strong

The quiet place where all my hopes belong

You’re patient and you’re kind in everything you do

So I just want to say thank you for being you

Yeah, thank you, Mom, for simply being you

I love you, and thank you for being you
