Savannah

You tried to surprise me with a pot of rice

It looked a lot like soup, but was the best meal of my life

You'd beat me at Monopoly, you'd never let me win

Turned the place into a haunted house just to see me grin

You always put the Christmas tree up, shaking your head at me

When I carved lazy Valentine hearts for you to see

Your sarcasm and your bluntness, it's like looking in a glass

My logical, intelligent girl with all that sass

Savannah, you're a warrior, stronger than I'll ever be

You're the reason I do better, you're the best gift God gave me

Well, right alongside Goober, you're a blessing from above

Such an amazing mother, handing out that tough love

You bring light to the darkness, you never give up the fight

My daughter, I love you, you make everything right

I called you hysterical, looking everywhere for my phone

You laughed at me because I was using it to call you at home

And we lost our minds laughing at the UFO sound

Whenever your dad's ringtone echoed all around

You recorded me with Tupperware trying to save a little Coqui

I almost fell over when the frog jumped right at me

Through every little moment, the funny and the true

I look at the woman you are, and I'm so proud of you

Savannah, you're a warrior, stronger than I'll ever be

You're the reason I do better, you're the best gift God gave me

Well, right alongside Goober, you're a blessing from above

Such an amazing mother, handing out that tough love

You bring light to the darkness, you never give up the fight

My daughter, I love you, you make everything right

Down at Luquillo Beach, feeling close to Dad in the breeze

You stood right by my side when the world brought me to my knees

When I lost Rich, my knees buckled, I couldn't stand on my own

But you held me up, the strongest love I've ever known

Even when we argue and we don't see eye to eye

I pray that God keeps you safe under every single sky

'Cause Savannah, you're a warrior, stronger than I'll ever be

You're the reason I do better, you're the best gift God gave me

Well, right alongside Goober, you're a blessing from above

Such an amazing mother, handing out that tough love

You bring light to the darkness, you never give up the fight

Savannah, I love you so much, you are my guiding light
