Rebecca Lynn Howard-No One'll Ever Love Me Like That Again
1st Verse
You taught me how to whistle
And how to tie my shoes
And how to talk to Jesus
In the darkness of my room
You held my hand when I got stitches
When one of Tommy Tyler's pitches
Hit my face
One time I stole from your purse
Then I lied and made it worse
But you loved me anyway
1st Chorus
Growing up
I remember your amazing grace
I still feel your arms around me now and then
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again
2nd Verse
You sent me all those letters
When I went off to school
I should've written you back
But I was too busy being cool
Funny how I couldn't wait
To get you on the phone to say
Mom, I'm in love
You were there whether or not
I gave a little or a lot
It was enough
2nd Chorus
I can still hear you sayin'
You're proud of me
And I remember thinkin' of you as my friend
I miss you wavin' from the front door
I can't drive by there anymore
'Cause no one'll ever love me
Like that again
Bridge
I guess I miss you more today
'Cause it's your birthday
And I couldn't bear for you to spend it here alone
Wish I could say this to your face
Instead of talkin' to your name carved in stone
Tag Chorus
I can still hear you sayin'
You're proud of me
And I can feel your arms around me now and then
There's a hole in my heart
In the shape of you, Mom
'Cause no one'll ever love me
No one'll ever love me
Like that again
I heard this song minutes after Mom telling me that she didn't have cancer. It made me cry. That moment is what I will always remember when I hear this song, not the first time I heard it. I tried to find audio or video but AOL doesn't have it and I can't even find it through a Google search.

Great news that your mom is okay. Lol, my mom has had a hystetectomy too. I was thanking my lucky stars when I found out she was okay. A lot of women have to have them, and your mom is going to be fine. Really great song. Nice, and meaningul lyrics. It's really funny sometimes how lucky god makes us, and how we all can have a life that's 1,000 times worse. I'm glad you got through this not- so-easy moment is one piece. Stay cool!
that was beautiful, it made tears well up in my eyes.
great song. i'll look for it for you :)

Shame, I would have liked to hear it.
