"Mum's Song" - original song

My mum turned 50 a few weeks ago and I wanted to do something special for her, especially since I'm leaving home in September to go to uni and it will be a big change for my family. This was the hardest song I've ever written and it took forever but she seems to like it, so it was worth it! It's really bad quality because there are a lot of harmony layers in it, but oh well.

The instrumental is a beautiful piano composition by the incredibly talented and very friendly theheartrender - you can hear the song here:

She's amazing so go subscribe.

I hope you like the song. :)

Lyrics:

Listen to me
I know things are changing
I know

And sometimes I wonder
Can you hear me?
Let me show you I haven't let go

Communication isn't easy sometimes
Words won't pass my lips
But I promise you I'm not leaving
I won't forget this

And here I go in search of acclaim
To ignite my future, here I go
You taught me to grow and
I owe to you the person I became

Wave goodbye from the car window
You have taken me so far
Watch as we go from quarters
To thirds and one whole

Don't listen to all that I tell you
Instead look straight into my eyes
If you listen to what I don't say
Try to read between the lines

I am still every bit as yours
As I was when I was born

@MaxLucasPiano Haha aww, I'm sorry I nearly made you cry! We were driving on the motorway when I first played this to my family and we had to stop because it made them all cry. Thank you though! I'm sure it will change! It always does when people go off to do their thing. ;)
