Lyrics
As I dance this dance with you, Mother, on my beautiful wedding day,
I think of how you and Dad raised me, and the choices you helped me make.
I know things are going to be different, as I move on to live with my bride.
Wipe away those tears I see forming. You will always be in my life.
A part has moved on, a part of me stays,
Your place in my heart will always remain.
As we reminisce now together, every step we take brings to mind
All the manners you tried hard to teach me, like forgiveness, respect, to be kind.
A part has moved on, a part of me stays,
Your place in my heart will always remain.
A part of me stays, a part has moved on
The love that you've given has helped make me strong.
As I see my life in the future, and I follow examples you've shown.
I'll work hard to honor all you've taught me, with a new family of my own.
A part has moved on, a part of me stays,
Your place in my heart will always remain.
A part of me stays, a part has moved on
The love you keep giving will help keep me strong.
