Teresa

Looking back on all our lives

Through the turning of the years

Raising up three growing boys

Through the laughter and the tears

Teresa, you were standing strong

When the days were hard and long

With a grace we finally see

You were everything we'd need

Oh Mama, you mean the world to us

The one we know that we can always trust

Through the shadows and the sun

When the day is said and done

Through the bad times and the good

You loved us like nobody could

Yeah, you've always been there from the start

Mama with a patient heart

Now the years have turned the page

To a beautiful new stage

Watching how your love expands

Holding little grandkids' hands

The wonderful mother we all knew

Is a wonderful grandmother too

Giving everything you have to give

Showing us the way to live

Oh Mama, you mean the world to us

The one we know that we can always trust

Through the shadows and the sun

When the day is said and done

Through the bad times and the good

You loved us like nobody could

Yeah, you've always been there from the start

Mama with a patient heart

No matter what the road would bring

You were our steady, constant thing

Every triumph, every tear

We turned around and you were here

I just want to make it clear today

I love you more than words can say

Oh Mama, you mean the world to us

The one we know that we can always trust

Through the shadows and the sun

When the day is said and done

Through the bad times and the good

You loved us like nobody could

Yeah, you've always been there from the start

Teresa, with a patient heart

Yeah, you've always been there from the start

Mama with a patient heart
