“Loved Me Best” is a nostalgic country ballad about motherhood, memory, and the quiet ache of watching children grow up. It reflects on the years when tiny hands reached out for comfort, and how those moments now live only in memory.
Loved Me Best
Those days are long gone
The babies I held
Are now grown
The tears well up
How I long for
Their tiny arms
Do they remember me?
Someone remembers me. too
Someone who loved me best
I told them then, they’d go away
They laughed at me then
And promised me when
They grew up
They’d be my friend
But they have lives and loves
I understand
And it’s ok
Those days are long gone
The babies I held
Are now grown
The tears well up
How I long for
Their tiny arms
Do they remember me?
Someone remembers me, too
Someone who loved me best
I did the same
I growed up
Went away
Did my own thang
We are made to move on
That’s what we like to think
We roam all over the world
Then we end up alone, why?
at a stranger’s kitchen sink
Those days are long gone
The babies I held
Are now grown
The tears well up
How I long for
Their tiny arms
Do they remember me?
Someone remembers me, too
Someone who loved me best
I’m not going to sit here and cry
My mama’s still here
I’m going to call right now
If only to hear
Her sweet voice
Laughing
Talking, singing
I will not forget
What she did for me
Those days are long gone
The babies I held
Are now grown
The tears well up
How I long for
Their tiny arms
Do they remember me?
Someone remembers me, too
Someone who loved me best
She loved me best
