Cindy

You worked your whole life just to keep the table set

A loving kind of tired that I never will forget

You were there to see my first steps on the floor

Always giving everything, and then you gave some more

You put everybody first, you're the one I'm looking up to

There is nothing in this world that your gentle heart can't do

So happy birthday, Mama, here's to many, many more

You're the best mom in the world, that's what this song is for

Through the sunshine and the sorrow, you always put me first

You loved me at my best, and you held me at my worst

I'm proud to be the favorite child, I know it makes you smile

I'll be loving you, Mama, every single mile

When the vows I made were broken and the tears began to fall

Through the pain of my divorce, you were there to take the call

When the shadows of addiction tried to pull me in the deep

You were the steady anchor, the saving grace I got to keep

You never turned away, you just held onto my hand

And you walked me through the fire back to solid land

So happy birthday, Mama, here's to many, many more

You're the best mom in the world, that's what this song is for

Through the sunshine and the sorrow, you always put me first

You loved me at my best, and you held me at my worst

I'm proud to be the favorite child, I know it makes you smile

I'll be loving you, Mama, every single mile

You've got a spirit so caring, so patient and so true

Every good part of my soul, I learned it all from you

I might joke about my favorite spot, but we both know it's a fact

For all the endless love you gave, I'm just trying to give it back

So let the candles burn for Cindy on her cake today

I wouldn't be standing here if you hadn't shown the way

You're the strongest, sweetest woman that I have ever known

The greatest blessing of a mother a child could ever own

So happy birthday, Mama, here's to many, many more

You're the best mom in the world, that's what this song is for

Through the sunshine and the sorrow, you always put me first

You loved me at my best, and you held me at my worst

Yeah, I'll always be your favorite child, I know it makes you smile

I'll be loving you, Mama, every single mile
