No One'll Ever Love Me

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 Tyler's 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 wavin' from the front door, I can't drive by there anymore

'Cause no one'll 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 too 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 sayin' you're proud of me

And I remember thinkin' of you as my friend

I miss you wavin' from the front door, I can't drive by there anymore

'Cause no one'll ever love me like that again

I guess, I miss you more today 'cause it's your birthday

And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone

Wish I could say this to your face

Instead of talkin' to your name, carved in stone

I can still hear you sayin', 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 you, mom

'Cause no one'll ever love me, no one'll ever love me like that again
