From the recording The Chariot
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Late at night, in soft moonlight
Your mama holds you tight as she hums
She whispers prayers, stroking your hair
It's warm inside my bed, but I still come
Just to stand at the door and watch
In wonder and in awe
Chorus:
I may never know
How much your mama loves you
But it makes me whole
The beauty of her love
For you
Verse 2:
Heaven knows I love you so
More than I could ever try and tell
But a mother’s heart stands apart
And gives a glimpse of heaven itself
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
And I pray that when you’re grown
You’ll look back and know you were loved
Memories might fade into the dark, but I pray that your heart
Will always bear the mark of the fullness of
Her love
Chorus:
Oh how much
Your mama loves you
And it makes me whole
The beauty of her love
For you
