[Intro — Monarch swing, 110 BPM]
(Accordion lilt, upright bass walking, fiddle answering, soft handclaps)
Snap — snap — swing it open, bajo sexto calling, heel-toe groove.
[Verse 1]
Over twenty years gone, but your laugh still fills the room,
You'd hum old Patsy on the radio and chase the morning out of gloom.
You braided stories in the doorway, taught me how to stand up strong,
You'd say, "Love you forever and always" — that line became our song.
[Pre-Chorus]
Up there you're singing to my baby Nicole with Daddy by your side,
Grandma POWLEY's laughing, stars like lanterns in the night.
Your hands were warm, your welcome wide — a steady light that kept us safe,
You were the clap, the front-row smile, the kindest anchor in the place.
[Chorus — hook]
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky. (You're our biggest fan)
You're our biggest fan — you taught us how to fly. (You're our biggest fan)
Short, bright, and true — you cheer us every time.
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky. (Lift us high)
[Verse 2]
There's a sparkle in old photos when your melody comes through,
A locket tucked beneath my shirt, the way you tuned the room.
You'd slip a note into my hand, a wink that said, "You'll be alright,"
An old blue bandana on the porch — your laugh that lit the night.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the moon borrows your laughter and the wind remembers how you swayed,
You taught us to stand steady, then to dance when clouds gave way.
Your love was steady timber when the cold tried to come inside,
You were the cheering voice in every crowd, the reason we would rise.
[Chorus — hook]
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky. (You're our biggest fan)
You're our biggest fan — you taught us how to fly. (You're our biggest fan)
Short, bright, and true — you cheer us every time.
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky. (Lift us high)
[Bridge — swing breakdown / Tex‑Mex flavor]
(Accordion stabs, bajo sexto answer, clapping builds)
Call: "Momma!" — Response: "We love you!" — clap, stomp, olé!
Heels click, hearts keep time, we spin a little doble in your name.
Band lifts, harmonies climb — your voice the compass of the frame.
[Final Chorus — bigger, with personal lift]
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky. (We hear you, Momma)
You're our biggest fan — you taught us how to fly. (We feel you, Momma)
Short, bright, and true — Momma, we sing your name tonight.
You're our biggest fan — waving from the sky — happy birthday in the light. (Lift us high)
[Tag]
Biggest fan — (biggest fan) — you'll always be our biggest fan.
[Outro — Spoken, close mic]
Happy birthday in heaven, Momma. We hold you close today and always.
Keep singing to my baby Nicole with Daddy and Grandma POWLEY — we love you forever and always.
