[Verse 1] Hats and tea parties out in the sun Laughing with her friends after fun runs Brownies cooling by homemade bread Papaya waiting every night Candles glowing soft at supper light Long walks by the ocean side That’s the mom we love [Verse 2] She’d gather seashells, flowers too Like every little thing she loved them too Young Women’s hearts and Primary songs She made everybody feel they belonged Dancing and shopping for hours on end Turning ordinary nights to magic again Croquet games cards with friends who come and go That’s the mom I know [Chorus] Style and class wherever she walks Grace in the way she listens and talks Long talks through the silly and hard Love poured out like a hand of cards Grandkids climbing in her light While she sneaks chocolate late at night A heart that made old friends feel new That’s the mom I know [Verse 3] TJ Maxx bags by the door Makeup mirrors, always one trip more Books stacked high beside the chair Stories and wisdom everywhere Friends became her family And family became her legacy And Rosie standing by her side Like best friends do for life [Bridge] Some people leave a quiet trace Some leave beauty in a place You can still feel her in the sand In the bread and jam made by hand In every laugh and every room Love still carries her perfume [Final Chorus] Style and class, her trademark true But love was what she always grew In every child and every friend The kind of love that never ends And when we speak her name tonight It still feels warm, it still feels bright The world is better don't you know That's the mom we know
