lyrics

There never was a love like mine for you
Never was a love like mine
All the other girls you may have met
Never gave you love you’re gonna get
There never was a torch that burned so blue
Never was a love like mine …
For you

Listen
I was young when I had Isaac
In love and a little baby boy in my stomach
All these feelings I can’t fight it
Needlessly to say I was awfully excited
But also kinda scared and a little undecided
Look, parenthood can certainly be awesome
But Drew was adamant that we consider all our options
Babies aren’t cheap and they never let you sleep
He ain’t even here yet and I’m turning and I’m tossing
Now it’s twenty something years later
I don’t think my love for Isaac could be any greater
The other day he said something to me out the blue
And it made me shed a tear so I’m sharing it with you
Isaac— the boy across the street
The boy whose many prayers made it destined you would meet
The boy you used to throw rocks at his window just to see if he could kick it
Y’all was just a couple misfits running up and down the street
Isaac— the boy you call your brother
Isn’t that the reason you call me your second mother?
The boy who been your boy
Had your back way back since the GameCube
He looked me in my eyes to my surprise he said “thank you”
I asked him “but for what?”
He said “for listening to your head
And all it had to say but following your heart instead
Not to get political or anything like that
But for people who can do this there is something to be said
I think about it often when I’m laying in my bed
How much you love and have always believed in me
Shoulda said it sooner but I’m here to say it now
Mom, I love you …
Thank you for keeping me”
