When you sleep with your mom’s voice in your head, it’s either two things: she’s giving you some mom advice or she’s scolding you. In many ways, our moms ges redundant on so many things. But then again, at the end of the day, her comfort and her knowing smile is what you long for before you sleep.
So here are some songs for the moms who stay up late at night to wait for us, who don’t bother repeating themselves so many times; the women of the house who know (for a mother’s instinct is always the sharpest) what’s best for us:
LINKS AND LYRICS
Like my mother does by Lauren Alaina
People always say
I have a laugh like my mother does
Guess that makes sense
She taught me how to smile when things get rough
I’ve got her spirit, she’s always got my back
When I look at her I think I want to be just like that
When I love I give it all I’ve got
Like my mother does
When I’m scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
She’s a rock, she is grace
She’s an angel, she’s my heart and soul
She does it all
When I love, I give it all I’ve got
Like my mother does
When I’m scared I bow my head and pray
Like my mother does
When I’m weak and unpretty
I know I’m beautiful and strong
Because I see myself
Like my mother does
When you come home by Mark Schultz
My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee
The nurse called my Momma
To say I’d be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
“I’m so sorry, son.
Oh I think you’re’ so brave”
And she was smilin when she said:
When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It’s where you are loved,
It’s where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home
I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane,
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me
I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote:
I’ll miss you, son,
You’ll be so far away
But I’ll be waiting for the day
When you come home
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It’s where you are loved,
It’s where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home
Well, I don’t think
She can hear you now,
The doctor told me
Your mother is fading,
It’s best that you leave
So I whispered,
I love you
And then turned away.
But I stopped at the door
When I heard Momma say,
I love you, son,
But they’re callin me away
Promise me before I go
When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms;
It’s where you are loved,
It’s where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home,
When you come home.
