My Sweet Lue Lue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty candles burning bright tonight, Where did all the years take flight? Seems like only yesterday A blue-eyed baby came my way. Little blonde curls and a heart so true, My darling girl, my sweet Lue Lue. [Chorus] Through the hard times, through the grace, God gave me your beautiful face. I loved you fierce, I held you tight, Tried to shield you through the night. You are my joy, my heart, it's true, And time can't change my love for you. [Verse 2] Your brother Jeffrey called you "Me-me," Little T.J. looked up so proudly. Those early years weren't always kind, I made mistakes, but you were mine. I stumbled, and you loved me still, Faith carried us up every hill. [Chorus] Through the hard times, through the grace, God gave me your beautiful face. I loved you fierce, I held you tight, Tried to shield you through the night. You are my joy, my heart, it's true, And time can't change my love for you. [Bridge] Now you're a mother, a wife so dear, A grandma too, with Leo near. A legacy of love and light, My Kristie, you got everything right. [Verse 3] You grew so tall, you grew so kind, The best of friends I'll ever find. When I close my eyes I can still see Those big blue eyes shining back at me. Happy birthday, my beautiful one, Kristie, my daughter, my rising sun. [Chorus] Through the hard times, through the grace, God gave me your beautiful face. I loved you fierce, I held you tight, And I'll be here through every night. You are my joy, my heart, it's true, And time can't change my love for you. [Outro] Happy fortieth, my Kristie dear, Always my baby, year after year.
