Watch You Be A Mother Lyrics

By Jonny Diaz

Lyrics

You do it all, you always have

Ten years in and two young kids

You wear so many hats

I see you patient, I see you kind

But I see you in a new light

How you love those kids of mine


And you ask me do I love you like I did at 24

And I just laugh because I don't, no, I love you more


You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend

You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother

When I watch you be a mother


Your white shirts have all got stains

And whether hauling kids or healing wounds

You spin so many plates

And how you do it, I just don't know

But there's a million ways your love and grace

Make our house feel like home


And you say that you don't look quite like you did at 24

But if I'm honest, right now, I'm attracted to you more


You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend

You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother


When I see the way you cover them with prayer from your knees

And I see the way you lift them up above your very needs

And I see the sacrifices 'cause you love them like no other

I can't take my eyes off of you

When I watch you be a mother


You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend

You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win

So many roles that you cover and you play them like no other

But I think that I love you the most

When I watch you be a mother

When I watch you be a mother

Now Playing...
