        I remember your birthday
C Bb F          F              Am       C
     your first breath out of the womb
C G Am            Am            G           C
      we were all crying, you were screaming
C Bb F                 F         Am   C
       it was the most beautiful tune
C G Am      Am             G        C
       God needed mother in heaven
C Bb F                 F          Am   C
       suddenly it was just you and I
C G Am        Am            G          C
       I felt so shattered and useless
C Bb         F        F    Am     C
  if not for you, I'd have surely died
C G Am            Am            G            C
      Yeah it's a mountain when life changes forever
C Bb F                F          Am   C
      your mom's love was such I felt erased
C G Am            Am          G        C
      but someone had to feed and love you
C Bb        F             F       Am      C
     though overwhelmed I did it face to face

Chorus
C G Am        Am          G       C
      Yeah we did it face to face
C Bb F           F           Am C
      somehow we found enough
C G Am                    Am        G        C
      that no matter what love, we'd have it always
C Bb F     F         Am   C
      from little on up

      knew no man could ever be enough
