V1: Baby blue eyes smilin up at me
an angel from above
Your tiny hands reaching upward
they grab onto me.
CH: Momma's goin to love you
baby, a long time from now.
V3: Just turned one today
your smile so big and
I see your daddy in you
V4: His smile, his nose
his ears you have
and a laughter that
makes your momma proud
CH: Momma's going to love you
baby, a long time from now
V5: Two' you couldn't be
Just look at you
Walking and talking
And into everything
V6: Your hugs uplift me
Your kisses bedazzle me
Such a young man now
and going to be three
CH: Momma's going to love you
baby, a long time from now
V7: Off to school
Just look at what
you can do now
V8: Still my angel from above
with your baby blue's
smilin up at me
CH: Momma's goin' to love you
baby, a long time from now
(this song was written when malachai, our son, was a toddler on one of those many nights i held him in my arms close to my heart, listening to his breathing, smelling his sweet scent that is unique to him, and the softness of his little hands as they grabbed ahold of mine. i treasure all of these memories.)
