Basics of Motherhood

(ooh) You are my morning

light

I held a little heartbeat close beneath my own

A tiny hand reached out and turned this house to home

Every sleepy smile can lift the heaviest day

In your eyes I find a hundred reasons to stay Love became

a living song the moment you arrived And every breath you take

reminds my soul it is alive

You are the best gift this world could ever give You teach

my heart a brighter way to live When you call my name

the whole room starts to shine The joy of being a mother

is the sweetest kind of grace The best gift in the world

is written on your face Every laugh,

every tear, every step that you make Fills my arms with a

love that no words can ever shake Oh my child,

my heart sings true

The whole wide world feels new with you

There are nights I feel tired,

but your trust keeps me strong Even in the quiet I can

hear our little song From the first small cry to the dreams

you carry now You have shown me tender strength and taught me

how To love without a measure,

to give without an end In the simple daily moments,

you are wonder born again If I could wrap the sky around

you, I would try

If I could keep your tears from falling,

I would try But all I really have is this steady love

I bring And I will be your shelter through everything The joy

of being a mother is the sweetest kind of grace The best

gift in the world

is written on your face Every laugh,

every tear, every step that you make Fills my arms with a

love that no words can ever shake Oh my child,

my heart sings true

The whole wide world

feels new

with you

You are my best gift

My sweetest song (ooh)
