"Because You Loved Me"

For my Mom who I miss every single day...

Because You Loved Me
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth you made me see
... For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right.
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you.
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me.
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand so I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach.
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all.
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark, shining your love into my life.
You were my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world was a better place because of you
I was blessed to be loved by you

I'm everything I am today Mom,
because you loved me.
