I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past
Shedding a tear
I shouldn’t be here
Reliving yesteryear
Thinking of things that didn’t last
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past

I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past
Shedding a tear
I shouldn’t be here
Reliving yesteryear
Thinking of things that didn’t last
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past

On this day, in the morn,
Fourty short years ago,
A tiny child was born.
On this day in the morn,
The title Mom was first worn,
And I was all aglow,
On this day in the morn,
Fourty short years ago.

September 21, 1973,
Was quite a special day for me.
It was a day like no other,
For that’s when I first became a mother.

Happy 40th Birthday to my daughter!
Independence Eve,
A time to reflect,
Upon all the freedoms we receive.
Independence Eve,
A time to stand for what we believe,
And our liberties to protect.
Independence Eve,
A time to reflect.

“Oh what am I to do?”
I hear myself begin to say.
God reminds me I need to pray.
“Oh what am I to do?”
God reminds me His word is true.
I need to trust Him every day.
“Oh what am I to do?”
I hear myself begin to say…
