We’d park by the Top Gun House, you Shanna and me
And walk down the stairs to play in the sea
From all the library books, to all the beach days on the sand,
You’ve decorated my life in ways I now understand
[Chorus]
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living, my mother you'll be
[Chorus]
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living, my mother you'll be
[Verse continued]
We'd stack up the books, and we’d read them aloud
Those moments cuddled with you, I always felt safe and proud
You taught me to be goofy, to laugh and to play,
To be myself fully, no matter what others may say
[Chorus repeats]
[Bridge]
I'm sorry for those car rides where I always threw up
Thankfully I stopped doing that as I grew up
(So sorry So sorryy)
[Bridge continued]
You always gave me love, and never sent me away
Even after I set fire to our backyard that one day
[Hook:][Chorus repeats]
[Outro]
So here's to the waves and the books that we read
to the love that you give and the life that you've led
[Chorus repeats]
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living, my mother you'll be
[Outro]
So here's to the waves and the books that we read
to the love that you give and the life that you've led
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living, my mother you'll be
[Chorus repeats]
I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living, my mother you'll be
