a mom's love

Lyrics

Verse 1
Oh she still remembers, the nights her babies were born
How she watched them breathing, until the early morn'
It was the first night of a long line, of little or no sleep
And her heart grew outside her body, with every one of those tiny beats
Chorus 1
She's got growing pains, 'cause Mama's always do
They never go away, 'cause it comes from loving true
She's got growing pains, the kind you like to keep
And it all started the night she watched those babies sleep
Verse 2
Sometimes she wonders, if she'll make it through alright
Is she giving those babies room to grow, or holding on too tight
It's a long road to walk she knows, full of tantrums and of smiles
But to watch them grow, though it pains her so, makes it all worthwhile
Chorus 2
She's got growing pains, 'cause Mama's always do
They never go away, 'cause it comes from loving true
She's got growing pains, the kind you like to keep
And it all started the night she watched those babies sleep

Bridge
Now she's driving them to school, they're speeding down the road
She's faking lots of smiles to hide a heavy load
'Cause the times gone by way too fast, but one thing hasn't changed
She still loves those babies, and she's still got growing pains
Verse 3
Looking at the pictures of little toothless smiles
Chubby thighs and big blue eyes, Lord how times gone by
But the one thing that's stayed the same, through these growing years
Is the love she's got for those babies, that ache still brings her to tears
Chorus 3
She's got growing pains, 'cause Mama's always do
They never go away, 'cause it comes from loving true
She's got growing pains, the kind you like to keep
And it all started the night she watched those babies sleep
