You taught me how to whistle and how to tie my shoes
And how to talk to Jesus in the darkness of my room
You held my hand when I got stitches 
When one of Tommy Tylor Pitches
Hit my face
One time I stole from your purse
Then I lied and made it worse
But you loved me anyway

Growing up I remember your amazing grace
I still feel your arms around me now and then
I miss you waving from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one will ever love me like that again

You sent me all those letters when I went off to school
I should've written you back but I was to busy being cool
Funny how I couldn't wait to get you on the phone to say
Mom I'm in love
You were there whether or not, I gave a little or a lot
It was enough

I can still hear you saying you're proud of me
And I remember thinking of you as my friend
I miss you waving from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one will ever love me like that again

I guess I miss you more today 'cause it's your birthday
And I couldn't bare for you to spend it here alone
Wish I could say this to your face instead of talking to your name
Carved in stone

I can still hear you saying you're proud of me
And I can feel your arms around me now and then
There's a hole in my heart in the shape of your arms
'Cause no one will ever love me
No one will ever love me like that again
