Lyrics:
A lovin’ kiss in the mornin’
Like a thousand times before
With big blue eyes she’d stand there lookin’
Up at me
I love you she’d whisper
As I was walkin’ out the door
And Lord she’d really mean it
I could see
Sometimes I’d call her
Knowin’ she’d be busy
She’d just say I miss you
When you comin’ home.
And after years of tryin’
She came runnin’ into me.
Said we’re gonna have a baby
Of our own.
She was in her second month
When the doctor found the cancer
Said we caught it soon enough
But we’re gonna need an answer
Cause the treatment it will take
Could kill the embryo
She didn’t even hesitate
She just said no
That baby girl became your mama
A story grandpa told me
At least a dozen times
When I’d sit with him
Oh Lord since we’re talkin’
My grandma’s still doin’ fine
So I wanna thank you for that blessin’
Amen
