daughter and son Lyrics

When I think about your birth

Your first seconds on this earth

As you laid there on my arm

Safe and sound away from harm

You stole my heart with your charm

I always wanted to be a friend

Guide you gently help you ascend

With every day that you grew

There was less for me to do

You are perfect as you are

You are my joy my shining star

I got far more than I ever gave

In you my heart will always crave

I wasn't confident in my role

Now you're the greatest part of my soul

I am proud of all you've done

I love you daughter I love you son

The time will come - you might go away

I am sure I'll miss you every day

I won't convince you to stay

You have to find your own way

You are not a child anymore

At home there's always an open door

I got far more than I ever gave

In you my heart will always crave

I wasn't confident in my role

Now you're the greatest part of my soul

I am proud of all you've done

I love you I love

I love you daughter

I love you my wonderful son

I got far more than I ever gave

In you my heart will always crave

I wasn't confident in my role

Now you're the greatest part of my soul

I am proud of all you've done

You are my daughter and my son

Thank you God

For this daughter and that son

I'm glad you persuaded me I would have missed so much

You guided me with your love's gentle touch
