Yvonne

Let me take it back to my senior year

You were my anchor, making the vision clear

With your honest truth and that funny spark

You always knew how to light up the dark

You’re the definition of a mother’s love

So much wisdom in the things you're speaking of

Yvonne, no matter what this life might throw

I’m in your corner, I need you to know

I’ll be rooting you on, I’ll be singing your praise

Celebrating with you through the rest of your days

Yeah, you lift us up when the skies are gray

I’m cheering for you, Yvonne, all the way

Every time I gave birth, I looked up and saw you

Bringing that calm strength that pulled me right through

Now I watch you with the grandkids, giving your time

Always showing up for them, watching them shine

It’s the way you love, so supportive and real

You taught me exactly how a family should feel

Yvonne, no matter what this life might throw

I’m in your corner, I need you to know

I’ll be rooting you on, I’ll be singing your praise

Celebrating with you through the rest of your days

Yeah, you lift us up when the skies are gray

I’m cheering for you, Yvonne, all the way

But the proudest I am isn't just what you give

It’s watching the beautiful way that you live

You showed up for yourself, you stepped in the light

Maintaining your sobriety, winning the fight

You did the hard work, you're standing so tall

And I’m right here to celebrate it all

Oh Yvonne, no matter what this life might throw

I’m in your corner, I need you to know

I’ll be rooting you on, I’ll be singing your praise

Celebrating with you through the rest of your days

Yeah, you lift us up when the skies are gray

I’m cheering for you, Yvonne, all the way
