Story behind the song
Written for a friend whose mom passed away.
Singer cries through entire song.
Lyrics
When I walked and stumbled
You said next time you'll dance with grace
When I ran and tumbled
You said next time you'll win the race
And when I tried and failed
You said Honey just do your best
And next time I failed I learned
How to fail less and less
So thanks Mom I miss you
But you'd known all along
That even though I'll miss you
Your words will carry on
And thanks Mom I love you
For knowing all along
That even though I'll miss you
Your words will carry on
When I fell in love (he/she) broke my heart
You said baby it's his/her loss
And I loved myself enough to find
Another bridge to cross
And through the years I've made mistakes
You said you've simply lived and learned
And it gave me strength to build the life
You'd always said I'd earned
So thanks Mom I miss you
But you'd known all along
That even though I'll miss you
Your words will carry on
And thanks Mom I love you
For knowing all along
Your loving words would give me now
The strength to carry on
So thank you Mom for giving me
The strength to carry on
