I'll Stand By You

Posted by Mo at 11:57 AM

The other day I was listening to Carrie Underwood's version of the song "I'll Stand By You". I have heard this song many, many times before, but this time it was different. All of the sudden it made sense- this song is clearly about a parent/child relationship! Maybe I missed this all along, but it's very clear to me now. I cant listen to it without thinking of Devan. It makes me cry every time. I think it perfectly depicts how every mother feels about their children.

Oh, why you look so sad?

The tears are in your eyes

Come on and talk to me now

Don't be ashamed to cry

Let me see you through

Cause I've seen the dark side, too

When the night falls on you

You don't know what to do

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

I won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

So, if your mad, get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me, now

Hey, what you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well im alot like you

When your standing at the crossroads

and don't know which path to choose

let me come along

cause even if your wrong

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

I won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by you

Take me in into your darkest hour

and I'll never desert you

I'll stand by you

And when, when the night falls on you baby

Your feeling all alone

You won't be on your own

I'll stand by you

I'll stand by you

I won't let nobody hurt you

I'll stand by

It's amazing how strong a mothers love is. Everytime I hear the line "Nothing you confess could make me love you less" I know it's true. Even the days Devan drives me crazy and I'm pulling my hair out, I still love her more than I did the day before. And I definitely can't say that about all of my loved ones!

Another of my favorite lines is "Take me in into your darkest hour, and I'll never desert you". This makes me think of my own Mother and how grateful I am that I have such a strong ally. It's a great feeling to know there is someone in your life who will never desert you!

I love you Devan!

   Sniff! Sniff! It makes me sooo happy to watch my daughter be such a wonderful mother! And, I too listened to songs and thought about my children. Nothing your children do could ever make you stop loving them. Isn't that great? Love ya, Morgan!
