Lyrics
Simple Little Words
Kristen Johnson Lloyd copyright 2013
Mom, it's the first word that
you ever heard me say
Some things may change
But others stay the same
I'm still that little girl
Who loves you in her own little way
And mom
There's so many things I wish
That I could change
Like the time we lost with
Broken hearts and pain
But the past is far behind
And tomorrow shines once again
So I write this simple melody
'Cause my heart wants to be heard
To remind you
What I never got to say before
with simple little words
Mom, don't think I never see you
Struggle every day
But you still stand tall
And smile your tears away
You may not see
But you're my hero
More and more every day
And mom
Until today I never noticed
All you've done
Everything that helped me be
What I've become
And words cannot express
what it means
To call you my mom
So I write this simple melody
'Cause my heart needs to be heard
To remind you
What I never got to say before
with simple little words
Ooh
So I write this simple melody
'Cause my heart needs to be heard
To remind you
What I never got to say before
with simple little words
