Sweet one I could never have imagined The power of happened When you came into this world Sweet one I had never dared to dream Of the love I have now seen When I look into your eyes My baby You’re the one my heart has ached for The one I ran the race for My little everything Sweet one You’ve already changed me You’ve endlessly amazed me By your presence and your love Sweet one I’m here for all you have to teach me For your magic reached me before you were even born And now you’re here My perfect little baby You already have gave me Everything I’ll ever need Sweet one Your innocence is truly A transcendent beauty That radiates through me And when I hold you close to my heart The whole world falls apart And love is all that’s real Sweet one My hope is just to guide you And to help you be a light to This world that’s so in need Sweet one I just sit in awe today of you and of your mama that made you And brought you to this earth
2.	mama 02:34	lyrics	buy track
Mama, she loves you and that’s all you need to know Mama stayed up all night long and rocked you to and fro Mama she loves you yeah she told me so She loved you every hour as she watch you grow Yeah she loves you, my mama told me that she loves you Yeah she loves you, my mama told me that she loves you Mama she loves you yeah I know it’s true She loved you from the first time she felt you in her womb Mama she loves you, she loves you through and through She loves every inch of your, and even cleaned up all your poo Yeah she loves you, my mama told me that she loves you Yeah she loves you, my mama told me that she loves you Mama isn’t perfect, she’s human too But she never loved anything the way she loves you And mamas love is with you where ever you go Through the hills and valleys of this life, it’s what let’s you go. Mama she loves you and she loves you still Though other things might change, she always will Cause in a mamas love, forever is not that long Through the hardest nights and happiest days, you are her song
3.	the joy of a thousand lifetimes 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Since you came into my life Time has slipped on by And I long for every moment That passes by Yes my heart weeps for joy When I look at you my baby boy And I’m trying to hold on to each grain of sand And I’m trying to let go of trying And it makes me cry, that in each moment tonight I feel the joy of a thousand lifetimes When you came into my life It was magic before my eyes And the world looks different Like I’m seeing color for the very first time Our love has made a way To this clear and happy day And I’m trying to hold on to each grain of sand And I’m trying to let go of trying And it’s so beautiful, that in each moment we hold The joy of a thousand lifetimes How do you grow so quick and so slow How can I keep from crying I want to hold you so close, and never let go Of the joy of a thousand lifetimes
4.	i will honor this child 01:18	lyrics	buy track
The greatest honor of a lifetime the most precious gift of this world the sweetest miracle of creation I will honor this child

about
