Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know that it's Your birthday We're singing songs to You I love to light the candles Like we always do But I've gotta say this Christmas My mind is somewhere is on another Sometimes I think about Your mother [Verse 2] She was only sixteen Probably long brown hair Walking in her sandals I wish that I'd been there I wonder if she wondered If You should've chosen another Sometimes I think about Your mother [Chorus] Was she tough or was she tender? Did You listen when she'd speak? Oh, I bet You trouble crazy When You wouldn't go to sleep I'm sure we had a lot in common I bet I would've loved her Yeah, sometimes I think about Your mother [Verse 3] I've got my own little boy now He's running like the wind Eyes as bright as stars Oh, the world must seem so big I wonder if she looked at You And felt the same way that I do Oh, sometimes I think about Your mother [Chorus] Was she tough or was she tender? Did You listen when she'd speak? Oh, I bet You trouble crazy When You wouldn't go to sleep I'm sure we had a lot in common I bet I would've loved her Yeah, sometimes I think about Your mother [Bridge] Did she know where You were headed? Did she know what You would do? When she watched You give Your life Did it break her heart in two? She might say she's nothing special Just the same as anyone But what's it like to be the mother of God? [Verse 4] I know that it's Your birthday And we're singing songs to You But I see the story different Now that I'm a mama too So I've gotta say this Christmas My mind is on another Yeah, sometimes I think about Your mother Oh, sometimes I think about Your mother
