I WAS NERVOUS AS I WALKED UP TO YOUR DOOR
MY HEART WAS BEATING HARD IN MY CHEST
I HAD NEVER MET YOU BEFORE
SO I KNOCKED AND I HOPED FOR THE BEST
(WELL) YOU LOOKED AT ME AND YOU SAID HELLO
HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY
AND IT MUST HAVE SOUNDED FUNNY, YES I KNOW
BUT THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO SAY

CH1
HELLO MOM ITS NICE TO MEET YOU, YOU LOOK A LOT LIKE ME
IT TOOK A LONG TIME FOR ME TO FIND YOU THROUGH THAT AGENCY

I STOOD THERE AND WAITED FOR YOU TO REACT
I WAS LOOKING RIGHT INTO YOUR EYES
YOU LET OUT A GASP AND TOOK A COUPLE STEPS BACK
AND THEN YOU BEGAN TO CRY
YOU SAID COME ON IN, LET ME GET YOU A CHAIR
I?VE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY
AND EVERY NIGHT I WOULD SAY A PRAYER
THAT SOMEDAY YOU WOULD FIND ME AND SAY

CH2
HELLO MOM, IT?S NICE TO MEET YOU, YOU LOOK A LOT LIKE ME
WHO AM I, AND WHERE DO I COME FROM, MOM YOU HOLD THE KEY
TO MY HISTORY

BRIDGE
LOVE NOTES, AND A PHOTOGRAPH, FROM THE DAY MY DAD PROPOSED
BUT WHEN HE LEFT, SHE COULDN?T KEEP, THE ONE SHE LOVED THE MOST

IT WAS GETTING LATE, TIME FOR ME TO GO
ALL OF OUR TALKIN WAS THROUGH
SHE SAID THERES ONE THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU
SHE GAVE ME A KISS, AND MY OWN LITTLE SMILE
WE HUGGED AND WE SAID GOODBYE
I HEADED DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT A HALF A MILE
TILL THE TEARS WOULDNT LET ME DRIVE

REPEAT CH1

LAST CHORUS
HELLO MOM IT?S NICE TO MEET YOU, MY HEART IS FINALLY FREE
NOW I KNOW WHY YOU LET ME GO, CAUSE IN YOUR EYES I SEE
YOU WANTED THE BEST FOR ME
