TO MY SON LOVE MOM (Lyrics)

(PRE CHORUS)

I remember when you were born

Like it was yesterday

I remember when you were ten

thinking can you please stop

and stay this age

(VERSE 1)

From a baby to a boy

to a caring young man,

I noticed all your little changes

you’re a part of who I am

I’m proud of who you are

no matter your life stage

but as your mom I’m sentimental 

just watching you grow and change

(PRE CHORUS)

I remember when you were twenty

like it was yesterday 

I remember when you were forty

still wanting a time delay

(CHORUS)

But the man you’ve become 

makes up for time passing by,

in those moments I think about

your incredible baby eyes,

I remember I’m blessed to now see them

as the adult you are today,

yet still hold the memory of the child

I was blessed to get to raise

(VERSE 2)

You didn’t stop at forty

you’re still celebrating every year

I now see your birthday differently

I’m so grateful to be here

As I reflect upon your wonderful life

and all the growing you got to do

I sometimes catch those memories

of the different stages you’ve lived through

(PRE CHORUS)

I remember when you were little

like it was yesterday 

I shed many happy mother tears

just being blessed to watch you age 

(CHORUS)

The man you’ve become 

makes up for time passing by,

in those moments I think about

your incredible baby eyes,

I remember I’m blessed to now see them

as the adult you are today,

yet still hold the memory of the child

I was blessed to get to raise

(BRIDGE)

Your birthdays may pass by

to mark the time you have grown

but you’ll always be my baby boy

who I’ll find a way to hold,

When I think about your birth

I remember our first day

the day I held you in my arms

and kissed your newborn face 

(FINAL OUTRO)

So happy birthday to my baby boy

and the grown man I now embrace

I’ll always hold you close

I’ll always celebrate

I’ll always cherish being your Mom,

a love time can’t separate 

THE STORY BEHIND THE LYRICS:

A MOVING BIRTHDAY SONG FOR OUR ADULT SONS:

I still remember the day you were born. I remember holding you for the first time, looking at your tiny face and wondering who you would become. Somehow, those years passed in the blink of an eye.

I watched you grow from a little boy into a young man, noticing every change along the way. There were times I wanted to slow everything down, to keep you little just a little longer. I wanted to hold on to those baby eyes, those childhood moments, and every stage that seemed to disappear too quickly.

Now I look at the man you’ve become, and I realize that time passing wasn’t something to fear. It gave me the privilege of watching you become someone I’m incredibly proud of. Still, no matter how old you are, a part of me will always see the little boy I once held in my arms.

Birthdays remind me how many years have passed, but they also remind me how blessed I am to have been here to witness them. I’ll always cherish being your Mom, and I’ll always carry the memory of the boy I got to raise in my heart.

I wrote this song for mothers and sons, inspired by the love I have for my own sons and the bittersweet joy of watching them grow into the men they were meant to become.
