From the time before time,
You mattered
From the moment I first held you,
You mattered
From your first words,
You mattered
From your first steps,
You mattered
From the moment of your first smile,
You mattered
From your first tears,
You mattered
From your first sickness,
You mattered
From your first achievement,
You mattered
From your first failure,
You mattered
Even when you didn’t know where to turn,
You mattered
Even when it was your biggest success
You mattered
Even when I couldn’t console you,
You mattered
You matter because
You will always have a piece of my heart
You matter
Even when you push me away
You matter
Even when I can’t be there
That piece in my heart will always belong to you
Because you matter
