Queen Marlene

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a home where the porch light stays on, Where the couch holds our laughter till dawn. Every holiday, the table runs wide, Room for all, and nobody's denied. You gave the world a warm place to stay, A mother's love that never turned away. [Chorus] Queen Marlene, We love you Mom, Our strength, our friend, Our best friend. You carried us all, you never let go, Everything we are, it's because of you, we know. [Verse 2] When our father grew weak, you stood tall, Raised your boys and me through it all. Forty kids that weren't even your own, Still you fed them and called them home. Fierce and funny, you tell it plain, But you'd give your all through the joy and pain. [Chorus] Queen Marlene, We love you Mom, Our strength, our friend, Our best friend. You carried us all, you never let go, Everything we are, it's because of you, we know. [Bridge] Danny's smiling down from heaven above, Happy with Dad, still wrapped in your love. He loved you more than his very own life, And we hold you close through the years and the strife. [Verse 3] Now the days come slower, the steps come small, So me and my brother, we answer the call. It's an honor to hold you the way that you held, To pour back the love that your gentle hands spelled. I am who I am from the light that you gave, My best friend, my queen, so faithful and brave. [Chorus] Queen Marlene, We love you Mom, Our strength, our friend, Our best friend. You carried us all, you never let go, Everything we are, it's because of you, we know. [Outro] Queen Marlene, forever our own, More than words, you'll always be home.
