Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom

Another candle, another year

Another reason to hold you near

This one's for you, Mom...

I remember little footsteps

Running down the hall

You were always there to catch me

Every time I'd fall

You taught me how to tie my shoes

And how to say a prayer

And when the world got heavy

I knew you'd still be there

Time keeps turning pages

Seasons come and go

But there's something in this heart of mine

I need for you to know

Happy birthday, Mom

May the angels sing your song

May the sunshine find your window

And your days be sweet and long

Happy birthday, Mom

You're the place where I belong

If I had a thousand lifetimes

I'd still choose you as my mom

I remember kitchen mornings

And the smell of fresh-made bread

All the little words of wisdom

And the stories that you read

You gave away your sleepless nights

So I could dream my dreams

And somehow made the hardest days

Much easier than they seemed

I can't give you back the hours

Or the sacrifices made

But I can give you all my love

With every breath I take

Happy birthday, Mom

May the angels sing your song

May the sunshine find your window

And your days be sweet and long

Happy birthday, Mom

You're the place where I belong

If I had a thousand lifetimes

I'd still choose you as my mom

And if the years should slow your steps

I'll walk beside you now

The hands that once held mine so tight

I'll hold them anyhow

For every tear you wiped away

For every prayer you prayed

There's a thousand little pieces

Of the love you gave away

And every one came back to me

And made me who I am

I'm forever your little child

No matter where I stand

Happy birthday, Mom

Let the whole world sing along

May your heart be filled with laughter

And your love keep growing strong

Happy birthday, Mom

You're the light that leads me home

And if I had a thousand lifetimes

I'd still choose you as my mom
