G                           Cadd9
It was an April day in that hospital bed

D                                    Cadd9
I was just a newborn, but I heard what you said

G                             Cadd9
Your loving warm arms holding me tight

D                    Cadd9

You whispered in my ear, son I love you so much

There's just something special about a mother's touch

[Verse 3]
G                         Cadd9
You were diagnosed in 2023

D                                    Cadd9
In June of 24 they gave you one to two weeks

G                                      Cadd9
I prayed so hard to give you some extra time

D                                          Cadd9    G
So I could get there and let you hold this hand of mine

G                      Cadd9
260 miles of that interstate

D                                     Cadd9     G
I got there in time before you entered Heaven's gate

D                     Cadd9  G
God even gave us one extra day
[Chorus]
G                                        Cadd9
You were the strongest woman that I ever met

G                                             Cadd9

D                                               Cadd9
You can go up to Heaven and walk the streets of gold

G                                              Cadd9
As we're gathered around your bed watching you pass

               D                                             Cadd9
You seen your kids take their first breath and we seen your last
[Bridge]
D                                                Cadd9
Last minute of your life you finally opened your eyes

D                                              Cadd9
As your looking to the angels we all said our goodbyes

Em                  D        Cadd9
This is so hard for me to believe

Em                  D       Cadd9
At least they took you so peacefully

There will never be a memory that I will ever forget

G                                     Cadd9
As I finish this song I'm still torn apart

D                                     Cadd9
But your always gonna be in my broken heart

G                                     Cadd9
We prayed so hard but God took you so fast

D
So just remember,

             Cadd9                  G
You loved me first and I loved you last
[Outro]
G                                   Cadd9
So thank you for raising me in your way

D                                Cadd9       G
