Before You Called Me Mama

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Before I ever saw your face, I heard your heartbeat in the quiet. One little rhythm, soft and steady, Made this old world feel brand new. Tiny kicks at two a.m., Talking to you like you could hear. I didn’t know your little voice… But somehow I knew you were here. (Pre-Chorus) Then one little cry broke the silence, And love finally had a face. (Chorus) Before you called me Mama, You already had my heart. Before your tiny hand found mine, You were my favorite part. Every “Watch me!” every bedtime, Every hug after the dark. Long before the whole world knew you… You lit up every piece of mine. Before you called me Mama… I was already yours. (Verse 2) Lightning McQueen down the hallway, Buzz and Woody save the day. Toy cars lined up on the hardwood, Dinosaur pajamas on display. First scraped knee, first bike ride, First “I can do it by myself.” Every little moment made me smile, Without being anything else. (Pre-Chorus) One first step became a thousand, One small boy became my world. (Chorus) Before you called me Mama, You already had my heart. Before your tiny hand found mine, You were my favorite part. Every “Watch me!” every bedtime, Every hug after the dark. Long before the whole world knew you… You lit up every piece of mine. Before you called me Mama… I was already yours. (Bridge) Some days move a little slower, Some disappear before I know. If I had one little wish, I’d bottle up this time somehow. But watching you become who you are Has been the greatest view… And every dream I have for tomorrow Still starts with you. (Final Chorus) Before you called me Mama, You already had my heart. Now every laugh and every memory Is my favorite work of art. Keep chasing every big dream, I’ll be cheering where you are. ’Cause long before you knew my name… You made me who I am. Before you called me Mama… I was already yours. (Outro) Before I ever saw your face… I heard your heartbeat. And that’s where our forever started.
