Avonlea's Song

The baby girl I held

soft and pink against my breast

The little girl who I watched

the rise and fall of her breath

We were so very close

the very air we shared

I held your heart to mine

and they beat into one

You're everything that I wanted

all I dreamed about

your smile and your laughter

turn me inside out

And on those days when I forget

just how precious you really are

God opens my eyes to see

He's given me a star

His light you shine

into my days

as you grow and change

you'll never know all the times

You've shone His grace

I thank you for your patience

your unconditional love

While your mommy

is still growing up

You're everything that I wanted
all I dreamed about
your smile and your laughter
turn me inside out
And on those days when I forget
just how precious you really are
God opens my eyes to see
He's given me a star

So shine my star, shine on

Shine His light my love

Shine my star, shine on

Your His precious child

So shine my star, shine on.....
