LYRIC FOR SALE

By Matt Osborne

Someday the day will come
When you won’t be here anymore
So I’ve got some stuff to say
Before you knock on heaven’s door

Sometimes we don’t express ourselves
Until it’s way too late
So let me tell you how I feel
Before you stand at heaven’s gate

You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words

You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core

You always stood right by my side
And told me you were proud
While I was trying to find my way
Getting lost in the crowd

I can’t imagine how it must have felt
Worryin’ yourself to sleep
Praying to the only God you knew
That he had my soul to keep

You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words

You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core

We’ve had our share of fights it’s true
A life of ups and downs
But you’re one of the main reasons
I’m still down here on the ground

I’m gonna miss you so damn much
Every day after you go
So here’s a bunch of things
That I need for you to know

You’ve been the best mom
Like an angel here on earth
While you’re still here and we’ve got time
Let me say these loving words

You’ve been the best mom
Could not have asked for anything more
So let me tell you this right now
I love you to my core

I’m sure there are so many things
You’ve chosen not to say
While I was falling down and floundering
Trying to find my way

You’ve turned your cheek so many times
When I chose angry words
If I could take back all the things I’ve said
I’d give anything in this world

You’ve been the best mom
Turned a boy into a man
And I just wanna say thank you
For everything I am

Sometimes I can’t believe
Just how far I’ve come
And I know I’ve made it all this way
Because you are my mom
