Chris

Born with big beautiful eyes, my boy, never one regret

When I was in the bottle, Aunt Jackie took care of you, I won't forget

Then I got you and we started over in Brady, fishing with Bubba having a blast

Before we moved back to Odessa to build a life that would last

Living with your Nanny Jane, who loved you like her own

Funny with a heart of gold, giving the shirt off your back as you've grown

'Cause I love you more than words could ever write

More than any song could ever say tonight

I know we’ve been through hell, but we're standing tall

We're gonna make it, son, we'll survive it all

Yeah, we always do, when the day is done

I love you, Chris, I'm so proud you're my son

You and your best friend Tator were inseparable from the start

The first dog you ever owned, loving each other with all your heart

Holding him until his last breath, the vet never heard a man cry so hard

I believe a piece of you went with Tator when he left our yard

Life hasn't always been easy, but you've kept your head held high

We've been through hell, but we always find a way to get by

'Cause I love you more than words could ever write

More than any song could ever say tonight

I know we’ve been through hell, but we're standing tall

We're gonna make it, son, we'll survive it all

Yeah, we always do, when the day is done

I love you, Chris, I'm so proud you're my son

The day I called to say Nanny Jane had passed from cancer broke your heart

Siblings kept you from saying goodbye with jealousy from the start

That hurt goes so deep inside, Chris, you haven't grieved her yet

When the time is right, I'm here for you, don't you ever forget

She's always watching over you, and when it's our time, you'll see

She'll be waiting with arms wide open, you're gonna be okay, trust me

And I love you more than words could ever write

More than any song could ever say tonight

I know we’ve been through hell, but we're standing tall

We're gonna make it, son, we'll survive it all

Yeah, we always do, when the day is done

I love you, Chris, I'm so proud you're my son
