My Firstborn, My Greatest Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eighteen years or more ago The world felt still, the lights were low And then a cry, a tiny hand A moment I still don't understand You came and changed my life somehow My firstborn, you made me a mom [Chorus] Watch you grow, my sweet baby girl You're the brightest light in my whole world With love and hope and quiet grace I still see the softness in your face However far the roads may go Angie, you are so loved, and I hope you know [Verse 2] Shaving cream on little cheeks Daddy laughing through the week A broken leg in New York City You were brave, you were so pretty Through every scrape and every fall You stood back up and gave your all [Chorus] Watch you grow, my sweet baby girl You're the brightest light in my whole world With love and hope and quiet grace I still see the softness in your face However far the roads may go Angie, you are so loved, and I hope you know [Bridge] Sister to Mandy, Josh, and Raven too This family circle wrapped in you Strong and gentle, kind and true There's no one, love, quite like you [Verse 3] So here's to every year ahead The dreams still waiting to be said You carry family in your heart You've held us close right from the start On this day the stars align Happy birthday, daughter of mine [Chorus] Watch you grow, my sweet baby girl You're the brightest light in my whole world With love and hope and quiet grace I still see the softness in your face However far the roads may go Angie, you are so loved, and I hope you know [Outro] My firstborn, still my greatest song Angie, my heart, where you belong Happy birthday, sweet baby girl You're forever loved in this whole world
