The Quilt We Made

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that I've carried close to me Of the day my whole world shifted quietly You came with eyes that held another time A little heart that wasn't sure was mine I was scared of all the things I didn't know How to love you right, how to let you grow [Chorus] But love don't need a beginning to be true It just finds a way to bloom inside of you Through the laughter and the tears we've walked it through Oh, my baby girl, look how you bloomed Look how you bloomed [Verse 2] You were stubborn, sharp, and stronger than your years Holding memories I couldn't wipe with tears So I learned to weave the old into the new Made a quilt of every piece of me and you Some nights I prayed I'd do enough for two Now I see the woman that you grew into [Chorus] And love don't need a beginning to be true It just finds a way to bloom inside of you Through the laughter and the tears we've walked it through Oh, sweet Amanda, look how you bloomed Look how you bloomed [Bridge] Amanda, you are courage, you are flame You walked through storms and never lost your name [Verse 3] Now you've got a husband and a family Arms that hold you like I always dreamed they'd be Happy birthday to my fighter, to my friend To the girl who taught my heart how love extends Every candle is a wish I send to you For the strength and grace that carried you on through [Chorus] 'Cause love don't need a beginning to be true It just finds a way to bloom inside of you Through the laughter and the tears we've walked it through Oh, Amanda, look how you bloomed Look how you bloomed [Outro] My baby girl, my brave, my own Look how beautifully you've grown
