I still see that little hand Wrapped around my finger tight Little boots running through this house Laughing late into the night Now you’re standing here so grown In your suit and tie today And I’m trying hard to find the words For all my heart wants to say (Chorus) Cause you’ll always be my boy No matter where life leads you From scraped up knees to wedding rings There’s nothing I wouldn’t do And though another holds your heart And she’s your whole world now I’ll always be the woman Who first taught you love somehow So dance with me real slow tonight Before you let me go Cause no matter how old you are You’ll always be my boy (Verse 2) I prayed for you before you came Asked God to keep you safe Watched you chase your biggest dreams And learn from your mistakes There were days I wished would last forever But time just moves along And somehow that little baby face Turned into a man so strong (Chorus) Cause you’ll always be my boy No matter where life leads you From bedtime prayers to this moment here I’ve loved watching you grow through And though your hand belongs to hers As you start your brand-new life Nothing makes a mother prouder Than seeing you love your wife So dance with me real slow tonight Before the music goes Cause no matter how old you are You’ll always be my boy (Bridge) One day if you have children You’ll understand somehow How a mother’s love keeps holding on Even when she lets go now (Final Chorus) You’ll always be my boy My answered prayer from Heaven And being your mom Will forever be my favorite blessing So while the whole world fades away Right here beneath these lights Let me hold on one more minute To this beautiful goodbye And I’ll thank God for every moment Watching you become The man you were always meant to be My son… my heart… my boy
