Love is waking up at 5:30

Just so you can get to school bright and early

Get a couple sips of ya coffee, then print a few copies

‘Fore we all start walking in

It’s your smile in the morning

And the way you make every child feel important

With a hug, high five, or a handshake

New things to learn from ya, so I can’t wait

Love is keeping snacks in ya room

In case I get hungry, or I lose my lunch money, again

Lending me a pencil or a pen

And you don't get mad if I don't bring it back — that’s love

You always treat me like your own

The classroom feels like a second home

Everyday you’re helping me to grow

Yeah that’s one thing I’ll always know

Love is grading a million papers

And taking work home, just to finish later

And if we’re at the store, saying “Hi,” instead of trying to hide

Cuz you know I’m really ya favorite

It's pizza parties on a Friday! Aye

And always celebrating birthdays!

It’s tutoring, or coaching a team

Supporting us to chase after hopes and our dreams – that’s love

Like when you come to my ball game

And I hear you shout my name, like all game

---I pretend I’m embarrassed, but between you and my parents

I’m excited that you all came

You always treat us like your own

The classroom feels like a second home

Everyday you’re helping us to grow

Yeah that’s one thing that I’ll always know
