I see you cry

Mommy

I look down from heaven

And I see you cry at night

Curled up on the left side of the bed

Phone screen is your only light

You trace my name on the window

Foggy glass and shaking hands

You keep my shoes by the front door

Like I’ll run in again

Mommy

I see you cry

I’m right here

I’m right here

Every tear that falls from your eyes

Falls into my hands

My dear (oh)

When you think you’re breaking inside

I’m holding the pieces tight

Mommy

I see you cry

But I’m still by your side

I hear you talk into the silence

Tell me ’bout your day and then

You fold my shirts the way you used to

Place them back and breathe me in

You blame yourself in the mirror

For a storm you couldn’t change

If love could’ve kept me forever

You’d have carried all my pain

Mommy

I see you cry

I’m right here

I’m right here

Every tear that falls from your eyes

Falls into my hands

My dear (mmm)

When you think you’re breaking inside

I’m holding the pieces tight

Mommy

I see you cry

But I’m still by your side

When the house feels too quiet

Listen close

I’m in the air (oh)

In the dust that dances in the sunlight

In the ribbon in your hair

I am all your sleepy mornings

I am every lullaby

I am every “I love you” you whispered

I never say goodbye

Mommy

I see you cry

I’m right here

I’m right here

Every tear that falls from your eyes

Falls into my hands

My dear (yeah)

When your heart is asking me why

I’m the warmth you can’t define

Mommy

I see you cry

But I’m still by your side

Lay your head down

Close your eyes

I’ll be the hush in the night (shh)

Mommy

When you look at the sky

That’s me

That’s me in the light
