A Mother’s Tears
Written by: Rick Amburgey and Jessica Nixon

Verse 1:
She woke him up in the middle of the night
Said “Honey get the car” cause I think it’s time
She’d been waiting almost all her life
And no words could explain what she felt inside

Chorus 1:
She cried a mother’s tears
From a mother’s eyes
It was a mother’s love
For a mother’s child
All her hopes, all her fears
In a mother’s tears

Verse 2:
A week past sixteen her daughter was running late
Mama’s been praying her little girl’s okay
“Lord please bring her home tonight”
Then she hears her daughter pull into the drive

Chorus:
She cries a mother’s tears
From a mother’s eyes
It was a mother’s love
For a mother’s child
All her hopes, all her fears
In a mother’s tears

Verse 3:
It seems like just yesterday since their first date
Now, her husband’s giving their daughter away
Proud to the mother of the beautiful bride
As she heard her promise to love him all her life

Chorus:
She cries a mother’s tears
From a mother’s eyes
It was a mother’s love
For a mother’s child
All her hopes, all her fears
In a mother's tears

Bridge:
Her daughter never understood
Why her Mama cried
Until the night

Chorus:
She cried a mother’s tears
From a mother’s eyes
It was a mother’s love
For a mother’s child
All of hopes, all her fears
In a mother’s tears

Tag:
All of hopes, all her fears
In a mother’s tears
