You've Got That Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wake before the morning sun Coffee in your hand, the day has just begun There’s always something else to do But somehow you still make room for me and you The years have left their marks upon your hands Stories written deeper than they ever planned And though life hasn’t always been kind You kept on smiling through the hard times [Pre-Chorus] When the world gets heavy And the road feels long You remind us all We can carry on [Chorus] Oh, Mom, you’ve got that smile That somehow makes the dark feel bright Through every storm, every mile You kept our family standing tall tonight And when the whistle blows And the game begins I see your eyes light up again Yeah, you’re cheering louder than anyone For every player running down that field Mom, you’ve got that smile And it means everything to me [Verse 2] Friday nights beneath those stadium lights Tailgate laughter, cold drinks, summer nights You know every number, every name Like you’ve been waiting all week just to see them play You clap the hardest when the underdog scores Cheer the loudest when they’re fighting for more And if somebody falls, you’re the first to say “Get back up, kid, you’re gonna be okay” [Pre-Chorus] You taught us heart Wasn’t measured by a score It was showing up And giving more [Chorus] Oh, Mom, you’ve got that smile That somehow makes the dark feel bright Through every storm, every mile You kept our family standing tall tonight And when the whistle blows And the game begins I see your eyes light up again Yeah, you’re cheering louder than anyone For every player running down that field Mom, you’ve got that smile And it means everything to me [Bridge] Maybe strength ain’t loud Maybe love don’t need a crown Maybe heroes wear sweatpants And sit in folding chairs around A cooler full of sodas Watching kids become men And loving every second Till the final whistle ends [Final Chorus] Oh, Mom, you’ve got that smile Still shining after all these years After every sacrifice After every tear And when the lights go down And the crowd goes home I’ll remember how you made this place feel like our own Yeah, you’re cheering louder than anyone For every dream taking flight Mom, you’ve got that smile And I’ll carry it for life [Outro] So here’s to every Friday night Every laugh, every fight To the woman who held us together With that smile… Yeah, that smile.
