Its been fifteen years sense I last heard your voice
Taken from all of us you didn't  have a choice
Gone from this world in just a blink of an eye
Still you had to leave us God has the reason why

You where never perfect had some human flaws
Did some heavy drinking your Demond's were the cause
But still you held your head up had integrity
Deep down you were a softie but intimidated me

And the way you taught us was harsh and never fair
But the way you loved us showed how much you cared
No one could ever read you...you were no open book
Build you up or break you down with a single look

You had the skill to make life the hardest of it all
You were always there for us all we had to do was call
You know I really miss you my heart your still part of
I know that you still love me and watch me from above

I look at you and I stop
Your so beautiful none can compare

I look at you and I stop
So  overwhelmed its hard not to stare

I look at you and I stop
I can't get past the smell of your hair

I look at you and I stop
I'm so obsessed it's not even fair

I look at you and I stop
You have me unconditionally ensnared

I look at you and I stop
Don't you know I'm walking on air

I look at you and I stop
I would die for you that's how much I care

Why do we settle for just good enough
That everyday thinking makes life unpleasantly tough

Why do we care what others will think
That everyday thinking makes our best thoughts shrink

Why don't we reach for everything best
That everyday thinking makes us just like the rest

Why do we say we don't think like that
That everyday thinking makes us lazy and fat

Why can't we tell people how that we feel
That everyday thinking hides a love that is real

Why is it bad to want all that feels right
That everyday thinking give us feelings to fight

Why settle to just make the best of it
That everyday thinking makes a mind so unfit

Why do I settle for everyday thinking
When thinking like that my dreams begin shrinking

The snow is falling outside my window
Soft and easy like a melody
Though the cold comes off the window
The warmth of the snowfall is there for all to see

The moon is shining outside my window
Adding to the melody
In the silence of the of the moon light
Is a quiet snowfall for all to see

Outside my window the snow rests on the ground
Like a new warm blanket
Wrapping itself around the landscape
Bringing comfort for all to see

What's missing outside my window
Is a couple walking hand and hand
And their love that warms in the snowfall
That love for all to see

If you could only feel my love or see how much I cry
Take a look deep in my eyes and you'll know just why
The key to all the answers are locked inside my eyes
The love I have for you should be no big surprise

I would do anything to have you by my side
The love that I have for you I never want to hide
This desire to love you has seized my weary mind
Just how much I care for you can not be defind

I am lost with out you and wander aimlessly
Do anything to be with you and do it shamelessly
Your my reason my hope my every little thing
And when I hear your name my heart begins to sing

Will to swallow my pride for you
I would even live and die for you
It's difficult to explain just how I feel
To live my life with you I know to be unreal

What would life be like
If there were no broken hearts
Lust or true love
How would you tell it apart

How would you know
If you were really in love
And vulnerable  affection  
We would know nothing of

There be no pain or heartache
To hold on or let go of
No beautiful memory's
To always think of

No emotional tears
That need wiped away
No meaningful pleas
When you beg them to stay

For her eyes and her smile
This feeling unspoken
God knows for sure
If my heart has been broken

There is only one woman to ever really love me
We share a loving bond naturally
My very being runs through her veins
The only woman to understand all of my pain

She knows my heart and understands my thinking
Said many prayers on the nights I was drinking
She was always there to wipe away my tears
Still comforts me with all of my fears

She was always there when I was knocked down
Encouraged me to get up off of the ground
Gave me her love when I was with other women
And when I made love to them all was forgiven

This woman is strong confident and perfect
She has my heart and I give her respect
I love this woman like I love no other
This beautiful woman is my mother
