Always, Always

It's three o'clock in the morning

His voice is her alarm

She rocks him as she feeds him

Cradled in her arms

She says, "I never dreamed that I could ever love so deeply"

And as he slips off to sleep, she whispers sweetly...

I will always, always hold you close

You will be with me wherever I go

I can't believe the angels sent you

Straight from God's hands to my arms

And I will always, always hold you close to my heart

This is the moment she prayed for

And dreaded at the same time

He'll take the hand of another

For the rest of his life

As she bends on his boot knee

A tear rolls down her face

She wipes it away, says, "I'll be okay"

And as they embrace, she says...

I will always, always hold you close

You will be with me wherever I go

Son, I know the angels sent her

Straight from God's hands to your arms

And I will always, always hold you close to my heart

The years show no mercy

And time takes its toll

And now he rocks her in his arms

Like she did long ago

And he says, "Mom, I know you have to leave

But true love never ends

I know it hurts, but rest assured

'Til we meet again..."

I will always, always hold you close

You will be with me wherever I go

And even as the angels lift you

Straight from my hands to God's arms

Oh, I will always, always hold you close to my heart

Oh, I will always, always hold you close to my heart
