Watch You Be A Mother
by Jonny Diaz

Album: Sweetness & Sorrow

Verse 1
You do it all
You always have
Ten years and two young kids
You wear so many hats
I see you patient
I see you kind
But I see you in a new light
How you love those kids of mine

Pre-Chorus 1
And you ask me, do I love you like I did at 24
And I just laugh because I don't know
I love you more

Chorus
You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother
When I watch you be a mother

Verse 2
Your white shirts
Have all got stains
Whether hauling kids or healing wounds
You spin so many plates
How you do it, I just don't know
But there's a million ways your love and grace
Make our house feel like home

Pre-Chorus 2
And you say that you don't look quite like you did at 24
But if I'm honest, right now I'm attracted to you more

Chorus
You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother
When I watch you be a mother

Bridge
When I see the way you cover them
With prayer from your knees
I see the way you lift them up
Above your very needs
And I see the sacrifices
'Cause you love them like no other
I can't take my eyes off of you
When I watch you be a mother

Chorus
You're a giver, you're a lover, you're a friend
You're a fighter, fighting for this love to win
So many roles that you cover and you play 'em like no other
But I think that I love you the most
When I watch you be a mother
When I watch you be a mother
