1/2 as good as her

Don't know how her backs not broken
From all the weight she carries
Don't know how her hearts still going strong
From the way she raised her family
To the person that she married
I've never seen her get it wrong

And they don't make 'em like they used to
She's just from another time
But I hope I'm living somewhere close to the way she lives her life
I swear I try

'Cause if I find a way to follow in her footsteps
Steal a story from the pages that she turned
If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness
And love without a fear of getting hurt
I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her

It's the lines from years of smiling
The softness of her hands
It's the constant silver lining that she finds when no one can
And they don't make 'em like they used to

But if I find a way to follow in her footsteps
Steal a story from the pages that she turned
If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness
And love without a fear of getting hurt
I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her

She won't let you catch her crying on the days that she has left
Yeah, even in goodbye, she's giving me her very best

So if I find a way to follow in her footsteps
Steal a story from the pages that she turned
If I learn that to forgive is not a weakness
And love without a fear of getting hurt
I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her
I'll be happy if I'm half as good as her
