With happiness you smile

As you’re playing all the while

Innocent eyes beam with joy

Such special little girls and a special little boy

Open arms wide

And wrap you up inside

A hug so tight, I can’t let go

I love you more than you’ll ever know

Your laughter brings a smile to my face

As you’re running all over the place

There isn’t a moment when you’re sitting still

And you make me giggle against my will

Watch over you while you’re playing

Listen to every word you’re saying

I find your sense of wonder amazing

And I love the fact that you are crazy

It’s a special bond we share

It means that even though I’m not always there

You know I love you; that I always care

A relationship like ours is rare

Before I know it you’ve crawled, you’ve walked, you’ve spoke

And in the blink of an eye you’re three and four and twelve years old

And soon you’ll come into your own

Into incredible people you’ll grow

You’ll never have to be afraid

I’ll be there every step of the way

I’ll be there to hold your hand

At your side I’ll always stand

But for now, keep those innocent eyes

And that happy smile

You’ll always be in my heart

And will be until the end of time
