Is you”

For 20 years there at home
Until the day her girl was grown
Giving all her love to her was her life’s ambition
But now her baby’s movin’ on and she’ll soon be missing’ her
But not today
Those are tears of joy running’ down her face
She’s somebody’s hero
A hero to her daughter in her wedding dress

Looks back into her mother’s eyes
And that smile lets her know
