The rain was pouring down on Halloween
October thirty-first of ninety-two
The wildest stormy morning I had seen
Just melted when the clouds gave way to you
My firstborn baby girl, beautiful and bright
You turned that stormy morning into light
ChorusI may not have been the best mother to you
But I always tried to be there by your side
Through all of the seasons that we've traveled through
My love is a river that's endless and wide
Oh Jennie, from the bottom of my heart
I've loved you every second from the start
Verse 2I'm proud of the person you've grown into, dear
A little bullheaded, but strong and so true
You're such a great mother, the picture is clear
There is nobody else in this world quite like you
You give all you have to the family you've made
And watching you shine makes my own worries fade
ChorusI may not have been the best mother to you
But I always tried to be there by your side
Through all of the seasons that we've traveled through
My love is a river that's endless and wide
Oh Jennie, from the bottom of my heart
I've loved you every second from the start
BridgeFrom that rainy October, I've watched you bloom
Through the tears and the laughter, the sunshine and gloom
I didn't have all of the answers back then
But I'd do it all over again and again
Final ChorusI may not have been the best mother to you
But I always tried to be there by your side
Through all of the seasons that we've traveled through
My love is a river that's endless and wide
Oh Jennie, from the bottom of my heart
I've loved you every second from the start
Yes Jennie, from the bottom of my heart
I'll love you like I loved you from the start
