You were a tiny bundle in my arms
When you smiled your little smile
A little lopsided to the left
Your eyes were still closed
That's how I knew you were dreamin'
And my heart turned over in my chest
That's when I knew
You were my little ray of sunshine
My little piece of heaven
My little piece of joy without fail.
You grow up a little everyday
Taller, smarter, bigger
How long before you leave the nest?
You'll find love and laughter
And a little heartbreak too
But know that it's all for the best
Just always remember
There's a little cloud of doubt
And a little rain of love
But a little wind of laughter tips the scale.
There'll be days in your tomorrows
When you'll have paths to choose
Cross mountains that seem too tall to climb
Choose right and be true
And you'll reach where you want to be
You might stumble but you'll have your time
And I pray this day
For little hugs of comfort
For little words of praise
And moments of hope to help you prevail.
There'll come a time in life
When you reach out your hand to hold another
A time to know where you belong
A lifetime of promise and trust
A lifetime of love
A little note of music that holds a timeless song
And I want you to remember
With a little bit of laughter
And a little rain of love
You can build your own heaven of joy to sail.
