Carrie Underwood Wrote A Song Dedicated To Her Mom When She Got Married

There comes a time in every girl’s life when she meets the love of her life and must decide to leave her first love, her mother. After meeting her true love, Carrie Underwood co-wrote the tear-jerking country ballad “Mama’s Song” to thank the woman who raised her.

“You just don’t think when your child is small that in just a few years it’s gonna be completely different,” says the country singer’s real mother, Carole Underwood, before the music begins. “And you look back and say ‘Where did that time go?’ It goes by fast.”

The video is set at what appears to be Carrie and Mike Fisher’s wedding reception. It features the glowing country singer and her husband en route to their honeymoon while her mother flips through a scrapbook filled with beautiful memories of the two of them.

The final picture in the scrapbook is a picture of Carrie and her mother at the wedding, closing the book after to go bid her daughter farewell leaving the reception with Mike. Carrie and her mother share a meaningful embrace before Carole sends her daughter off to start the rest of her life with the man of her dreams.

The first lyrics will make moms everywhere tear up as she sings,

“Mama, you taught me to do the right things
So now you have to let your baby fly
You’ve given me everything that I will need
To make it through this crazy thing called life.”

The song only gets better after, with Carrie reassuring her mama that the man she chose to spend her life with is “so good,” and treats her well.
