Sang Along

The first time that I saw a show
My mother was the lead so I was in the front row
Staring up at her I thought
Look at that beautiful mom I've got

And I had watched my mom rehearse
I knew the words to every other verse
The audience applauded loud
And I was just one in a crowd

But I sang along, I sang along
And the man behind me kicked my chair
I sang along, I sang along
I was just so happy to be there

From then on out, I got the bug
When I would bring it up I got a sigh and then a shrug
My mom said I would wear out fast
That things with me just didn't last

Of course when she was proven wrong
I made her teach me how to sing a song
She taught me every thing I know
Each lesson means more as I grow

Oh, I sang along, I sang along
But when all just felt so right
Oh, I sang along, I sang along
Brand new lessons every night

But our moms can't give us everything we need
They hand us the tools but we have got to succeed
And moms can't teach you how to soldier on
When your mom's gone

And you weren't ready for the lessons to end
To say goodbye to my first and greatest friend

I sang along, I sang along
As she drifted off to sleep
I sang along, I sang along
And made promises I'll keep

I sang along, I sang along
I know it to be true
I'll sing along as best I can
Because mom I sing for you

Hmm...
Do do do-o do
