V1
I laced up those blue tennis shoes
And wiped my tears onto my sleeve
I knew I had to go that day
But it was so damn hard to leave
I kept that t-shirt from your birth day
The last time that I held you
This Teddy Bear’s from your grandma
That I’d love to give to you

Chorus
It’s a mother’s love that let you go
And I hope now you can see
That this mother’s love’s still growing
Even though you’re not with me
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross the line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?

V2.
Are you happy with the life you have?
I bet you’re everything I dreamed.
When we take our family photographs
I feel you right here next to me.
I wear that T-shirt on your birthday
So I can smell you once again
I know someday there’ll be a time
When I’ll hold you and not pretend

Chorus
It’s a mother’s love that let you go
And I hope now you can see
That this mother’s love’s still growing
Even though you’re not with me
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross the line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?

Bridge
I still believe in that decision
I pray adoption did you right
But wondering where you might be right now
Keeps me up so late at night

Chorus
I’d love to meet you sometime
But, I’m afraid to cross that line.
Would I know you if I saw you?
Do you have dark eyes like mine?
