Allecia

I took my first breath looking right up at you

You gave me my life and you carried me through

And years down the line, when my own boy was born

You were right in the room on that beautiful morn

You wiped away tears and you held onto my hand

Showing me how a true mother should stand

Thank you for the way that you care for us

A steady kind of love, without a fuss

For everything you do for me and my son

From the morning light till the day is done

I just want to say it, simple and true

I love you, Mom, I really do

The television flickers when the evening gets late

Watching our movies, a quiet escape

Then we sit at the table and shuffle the deck

Playing our cards, keeping worries in check

Just dealing the hands as the hours slip by

Underneath the warmth of your watchful eye

Thank you for the way that you care for us

A steady kind of love, without a fuss

For everything you do for me and my son

From the morning light till the day is done

I just want to say it, simple and true

I love you, Mom, I really do

From the day I was born to the day he arrived

By the grace of your heart, we have always survived

Allecia, you guide us wherever we roam

You're not just a mother, you are our home

Oh, thank you for the way that you care for us

A steady kind of love, without a fuss

For everything you do for me and my son

From the morning light till the day is done

I just want to say it, simple and true

I love you, Mom, I really do

Yeah, I love you, Mom, I really do
