It's been a while And look what the lord can do To see you smile Knowing all that you've been through You've ran a mile And i'll be there for #2 Just to remind you of your victories And just how much your love has meant to me This song is about Letting you know just how i feel And i have no doubt That a mothers love is real, so real Cause you have been More like a friend than anything Sparing your feelings To make sure i'm happy Mama you've been more than a mom could ever be This is your party And it is my honor to sing When i did good They way you cheered was always best Don't think you understood How that helped me to hold up my chest Because you were you I could be me That how the story goes Mama, i love you dearly Hope you can hear me Cause my heart is cheering Cause i am here singing I hope you are happy God make her happy Cause this is your party And tonight you are the queen You are the queen I appreciate you I appreciate you mama See, you were there for me When i wasn't even there for myself You are the queen You are the queen That's what i thought i would sing
