Lyrics
Description
["Mama by The Christmas Light on the Lawn"]
Lunch pile at sunrise, blue sparks on his jeans,
Welling light on his face, thermos steaming in between.
Dance with Momma by the Christmas light on the lawn,
His crooked grin and steady hands kept the whole house warm.
Denton, that old fort where he'd sit and tell a tale,
Toolbox by the doorway, oil on his cup, his heart in every nail.
He taught me how to stand, taught me how to fight for what I need,
Respect and loyalty, the kind you learn from honest deeds.
Sparks on your jeans, Daddy, your light still leads my way,
Callused hands and birthday cakes, you taught me how to stay.
Daddy, I'm your baby girl, I carry you each day,
Sparks on your jeans, your love won't fade away.
Sickness came at fifty, you fought for nineteen years,
Kept a grin for every birthday, wiped our worries and our tears.
You lifted up my boys high, made their little faces roar,
Amazing grandfather to them, they miss you more and more.
I see the sadness in Momma's eyes when family gathers round,
Her quiet heart still reaches for the echo of your sound.
You taught us work and mercy, how to keep our promises true,
A steady kind of courage in the small things that you do.
Sparks on your jeans, Daddy, your light still leads my way,
Callused hands and birthday cakes, you taught me how to stay.
Daddy, I'm your baby girl, I carry you each day,
Sparks on your jeans, your love won't fade away.
If I had one more morning, I'd sit with your song.
If I had one more morning, I'd sit with your song.
