baby girl
you are strong & brave resilient
I'd count slowly to a million
to keep you curled up next to me
ruby child
this is home a place to land in
every laugh & scream & cry dear
is your perfect melody

& I wish I could hold us all here forever
rewind each crazy moment together
cause baby when God chose you
it was a dream come true
stay young enough so my kisses still fix it
lets laugh it off & dance through the kitchen
cause baby when I met you
I didn't know that I could love someone
I never knew

baby boy
you are joy & grace determined
I will carry every burden
just come running back to me
sunshine
be content with where God has you
we are standing right beside you
one big messy family

& I wish I could hold us all here forever
pause every wild moment together
cause darlin' when God chose you
it was a dream come true
when you grow up perhaps I can't fix things
we'll still laugh it off & chase 'round the kitchen
cause darlin' when I met you
I suddenly loved all of someone
I never knew

I knew you before I knew you would be here forever
I knew you before I knew you my dear we're forever

& I wish I could hold us all here together
stop the hands of time stay forever
cause honey when God chose you
it was a dream come true
you're on your own now but babe I'm still wishing
for unending laughter & kisses that fix things
cause honey when I met you
I already knew how much I loved you
