Christine

I was just a kid with a fever in the dark

You were the comfort and the shelter for my heart

All those long nights sitting by my bed

Smoothing the hair right off my aching head

You gave everything to see me pulling through

I learned what love was just by watching you

Oh, Christine, you've got a heart of gold

The most beautiful woman that I'll ever know

Wise and so strong, the best mom to all of us kids

You loved me through the shadows and the things that I did

I'm standing here today because of who you are

My steady ground, my constant morning star

When I lost my way and the world got so cold

You never let go of the hand you used to hold

Through my addiction, when I was hard to love

You never turned your back when push came to shove

And when it was my turn to bring new life to this earth

You were holding my hand through my own babies' birth

Oh, Christine, you've got a heart of gold

The most beautiful woman that I'll ever know

Wise and so strong, the best mom to all of us kids

You loved me through the shadows and the things that I did

I'm standing here today because of who you are

My steady ground, my constant morning star

Now I watch my girls growing up so fast

Building on a love that is always gonna last

They are who they are 'cause you helped me raise them right

Pouring out your giving spirit every day and night

Oh, Mom, you've got a heart of gold

The most beautiful woman that I'll ever know

Wise and so strong, the best mom to all of us kids

You loved me through the shadows and the things that I did

Thank you for everything, for the love that you impart

I'll carry you forever right here in my heart
