Seventeen years ago
I'm wrapped up in your arms
Crying like a baby should
But with you I'm safe from harm
You look into my eyes
And know you'll raise me up how I should be
And in those eyes you see
That you're my lilac tree
You're everything I've come to be
And I don't say it near enough
But I love you so much
You taught me to see the good in all eternity
From baby boy to what I am now
You'll always be Momma to me
One year later
I'm taking my first steps
Falling down into your arms
Over and over again
You look down at me
And know I'm gonna grow so fast
You know this moment will not last for long
You're my lilac tree
You're everything I've come to be
And I don't say it near enough
But I love you so much
You taught me to see the good in all eternity
From baby boy to what I am now
You'll always be Momma to me
Time will fly so much faster
Than I can bear to know
Your life's just flashed by
Forty years, must be a lie but
Here I am to say that
You're my lilac tree
You're everything I've come to be
And I don't say it near enough
But I love you so much
You taught me to see the good in all eternity
From baby boy to what I am now
You'll always be Momma to me
