I Love You At five years old She already knew, What she wanted, Wanted to do. She giggled and sang herself to sleep. A joy to have, Her time was sweet. And I sang her a song When bedtime arrived, It stuck in her head as she closed her eyes. I love you baby But He loves you more. I hold your hand, He holds your heart. I see what is now, He sees what will be, You don't have to be scared, He'll give you His peace. When ten arrived She was heard of her class. A friend to all No matter how crass. When she came in the door from school each day We sang our song. At the table we sang... I love you baby But He loves you more. I hold your hand, He holds your heart. I see what is now, He sees what will be, You don't have to be scared, He'll give you His peace. At sixteen, She bought her first car. She was juggling school work and a part time job. One night, On her way home in the dark, She fell asleep and took a corner to sharp. The car rolled quite a few times, When it was over, She closed her eyes. I love you baby But He loves you more. I hold your hand, He holds your heart. I see what is now, He sees what will be, You don't have to be scared, He'll give you His peace. I rushed to the hospital and into her room. She was breathing slowly, I'd knew she'd be leaving soon. I sat on the edge of her bed and I cried. Then she took my hand and opened her eyes, And she sang... I love you mom, But he loves you more. I hold your hand, He holds your heart. I see what is now, He sees what will be, You don't have to be scared, He'll give you His peace. |
