Hold me tight, Mom, don’t ever let me go

Hold me tight, Mom, I need you to watch me grow

Hold my hand as I cross the street

Please don’t let me date a dead-beat

Teach me right from wrong

Help me to belong

Show me how to love

Your hand in mine fits like a glove

Hold me tight, Mom, don’t ever let me go

Hold me tight, Mom, and watch me grow

Promise me you’ll always be there

Show me how much you truly care

Mold me as you feel is best

I promise I’ll take care of the rest

Hold me tight, Mom, don’t ever let me go

Hold me tight, Mom, so you can see me grow

One day I’ll make you proud

I won’t blend in with the crowd

I know you’ll teach me to be strong

For you’ve done this all along

I’m not ready for you to set me free

But in the end let me be me

Accept me always for who I am

But we willing to help out in a jam

There are times I will make mistakes

Be there to heal all my heart breaks

Hold me tight, Mom, don’t ever let me go

Hold me tight, Mom, I need you to watch me grow

Enjoy each moment before the pass

Because, in the end, they will not last
