Connie

Looking back at the years, how you made a way

Every sacrifice, Connie, you carried the day

You made sure we had enough, you provided the light

A friendly face in the morning, my comfort at night

Always mindful of others, you put yourself last

Building a future while honoring our past

Oh, you carry the love, you carry the weight

With a beautiful grace that will never fade

Some people hide what they feel, keeping it cold

But you wear your heart on your shoulders, a sight to behold

Mama, you wear your heart on your shoulders, and it's made out of gold

Sitting around in the evening, just thinking back when

We start with a smile, and we're laughing again

Those special memories we share, they never get old

Lost in the warmth of the stories we've told

You gave us a haven, a shelter from rain

With a quiet kindness that I can't explain

Oh, you carry the love, you carry the weight

With a beautiful grace that will never fade

Some people hide what they feel, keeping it cold

But you wear your heart on your shoulders, a sight to behold

Mama, you wear your heart on your shoulders, and it's made out of gold

Every mindful little moment, every friendly word

You gave me a foundation, made sure I was heard

Connie, you're my mother, my steadying light

I'm singing this song just to thank you tonight

‘Cause you carry the love, you carry the weight

With a beautiful grace that will never fade

Some people hide what they feel, keeping it cold

But you wear your heart on your shoulders, a sight to behold

Mama, you wear your heart on your shoulders, and it's made out of gold

Yeah, you wear your heart on your shoulders, and it's made out of gold
