To the Moon and Back

[Verse] In that old farmhouse kitchen, where the floors creak and groan, Mama sits by the window, watchin' fields she's always known. With a heart full of stories and a smile that's gently bright, She sings softly to the memories, 'neath the dim porch light. [Verse 2] Her kids have grown and wandered, every one of ‘em found their way, But Mama's heart sure never left, in that old house it stayed. She hums an old-time melody, about love and days gone past, To the moon and back she'll whisper, love that’ll forever last. [Chorus] To the moon and back, my darlings, wherever you may roam, With open arms and simple charms, you can always come back home. Through the years and all the seasons, in this life’s uneven track, Mama’s love goes on forever, to the moon and back. [Verse 3] In the quiet of late evening, when the stars begin to gleam, Mama gazes at the night sky, wrapped in a timeless dream. For each grown child and grandchild, scattered 'cross the land, There's a lullaby in the evening, sung with a tender hand. [Bridge] Forever in her heart, their faces shine so clear, Through laughter and through teardrops, they’re always near. She'll sing that sweet old tune, soft as a gentle rain, And they'll know, wherever they go, her love will always remain. [Verse 4] When life gets heavy and wild, and the shadows start to fall, Mama’s words bring them comfort, they can hear her loving call. With every whispered “I love you,” and each reassurance true, She sings about her evergreen love, like she always used to do.
