Christopher

[Verse 1]
There's a light that a mother carries
For the child she'll always know
From the first small hand I held so tight
To the man I've watched you grow
My sensitive heart, my baby boy
Grandma's favorite from the start

[Chorus]
Oh Christopher, my Buddy, my son
Look how far you have come
You stood beside me through the dark
And held the pieces of my heart
Forever and always, this I swear
No matter where, I'll be right there

[Verse 2]
You put on that uniform of blue
And made your Daddy Donny proud
There were quiet things you did out there
Braver than you'd say out loud
A wonderful father, tender and true
Steady in the storms we came through

[Chorus]
Oh Christopher, my Buddy, my son
Look how far you have come
You stood beside me through the dark
And held the pieces of my heart
Forever and always, this I swear
No matter where, I'll be right there

[Bridge]
In my darkest hours you were near
You dried away my every tear
For all the love you've freely given
I'm grateful for this life we're livin'

[Verse 3]
You brought me a daughter to love as my own
And grandbabies filling this home
A Mammaw's heart could never ask
For more than the joy you have shown
So just because, I'm singing this song
To say that you belong

[Chorus]
Oh Christopher, my Buddy, my son
Look how far you have come
You stood beside me through the dark
And held the pieces of my heart
Forever and always, this I swear
No matter where, I'll be right there

[Outro]
I love you, sweetheart, this is true
Forever and always, I'll love you
