When You Were Born

When You Were Born

Before you were born

Before you were formed in the heart of me

You were a part of me

And only God know how I loved you then

Even when Id never held you tight

Or watched you sleep within the night

Or seen your mother’s smile within your eyes

What a pleasant surprise

When you were born

I loved you more than words can say

Your little hands

Your simple ways

They opened the door to my heart

When you were born God blessed the day I heard the news

My skies of gray and clouds of blue faded away

When you were born…When you were born

You came in with the sun

You brought the morning light

You stole away the darkness

A shining star within the night

You gave me everything that life is all about

You filled my empty heart and washed away my doubts
