You’ve got your mother’s eyes
and endless youth
The way she lifts up every room
Nobody sees it the way that I do

When did you get to be so brave?
I haven’t seen that strength since my mom passed away
It’s like she’s here when I’m with you

You
Took the pieces
of the things we’ve handed down
And look at you now

You
are made up of
The best parts
of the best people I have ever known

You learned to always put your family first
and spoil the ones you love til it hurts
Be the one friends can turn to

I don’t know why I just had to wait
To say these things til your wedding day
On a mic in a ballroom

You
Took the pieces
of the things we’ve handed down
And look at you now

You
are made up of
The best parts
of the best people I have ever known

Then all at once
She showed up
impressed everybody
I knew you'd never let her go

I couldn’t help
But worry about the hand that life would deal you
But I don’t worry bout that anymore

Because you
are made up of
The best parts
of the best people I have ever known
