Mama's Song

I was driving home from Saline on Saturday evening and decided to listen to an older album on Carrie Underwood's since I've been listening to her newer album Blown Away quite a bit. A song came on that I remembered how much I absolutely loved. It came out in 2010, shortly before Phil and I got married and I remember how meaningful the song was to me because it exemplified exactly how I felt about Phil and how I wanted my Mom to know she didn't have to worry because I had found the perfect man who was wonderful and would take great care of me for the rest of our lives.

Listening to this song driving home it had even more added meaning knowing I'm just a few weeks away from having a daughter of my own. It wasn't until now that I realized how much I want the same for my daughter someday and I hope that when she gets older and find the love of her life that she could listen to this song and say to me these lyrics. I love how things are taking on such new meanings now that I'm going to be a Mom. I can't wait to teach her how to love and live and show her how important it is to find someone you love unconditionally to spend your life with just like her parents have and both sets of her grandparents. I hope she knows how special that is because I know very few people who can say that. I would have given anything to grow up with two sets of grandparents who loved each other and spend my life around nothing but love. However I feel completely blessed in my own right to have two amazing parents who are soulmates and complete each other perfectly. They were the perfect role models for me to show me love two people are supposed to love each other and I hope I can effectively pass that along to Audrey.

Here is the wonderful song I speak of...

 

Mama, you taught me to do the right things.
So, now you have to let your baby fly.
You've given me everything that I will need.
To make it through this crazy thing called life.
And I know you watched me grow up,
and only want what's best for me.
And I think I found the answer to your prayers.

And he Is good, so good.
He treats your little girl,
like a real man should.
He is good, SO good.
He makes promises he keeps.
No, he's never gonna leave.
So, don't you worry about me.
Don't you worry about me.

Mama, there's no way you'll ever lose me.
Giving me away is not goodbye.
As you watch me walk down to my future,
I hope tears of joy are in your eyes.

Cause, he is good, so good.
And, he treats your little girl,
like a real man should.
He is good, SO good.
He makes promises he keeps.
No, he's never gonna leave.
So, don't you worry about me.
Don't you worry about me.

And when I watch my baby grow up,
I'll only want what's best for her.
And I hope she'll find,
the answer to my prayers.
And that she'll say...

He is good, so good.
And he treats your little girl,
like a real man should.
He is good, SO good.
He makes promises he keeps.
No, he's never gonna leave.
So, don't you worry about me.
Don't you worry about me.

Mama, don't you worry about me.
Don't you worry about me.
