She takes her first steps
As a mother and father watch on
Now they know whats for certain is
From this moment here
They'll never be ready to let her walk
Memories created down small kexby lane
Where the sunshine and rainbows remain
Pushing her harder on the village swing
Blonde hair rushes back against the wind
I hope you take all of this in

Lavinia Rose, there is so much to know
The world is big and will swallow you up
So be careful which way you decide to go
I wish i could be forever by your side
The hardest thing
is that i know one day i'll have to let you go
And figure out this world all alone

Sun flowers on the lawn
Girl we planted when you were small
Now it towers above me like my love for you
Each day you get bigger and i can't do
Anything to turn the clocks back to
when we carried you home
And all of this madness began
Memories of what used to be
Are all that we have
And isn't time the most precious of things
Because we never get enough and that's a fact

Lavinia Rose, oh look there she goes
Independant person with nothing else much
But my blessings and all of my love

You could be anything, and i'll always be your king
One day you know i'll be grey and old
But my arms can always be your retreat

Crayons on the bedroom floor
Tents of blankets, our light a torch
Toy soldiers face off but what for ?
Together we must face the world
And it's ok to be upset
We can retreat back to our den
Whispered secrets no one else knows
Because we're brothers thats how it goes

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

Autumn leaves dance at our feet
On our first school walk together down tower street
Then the teachers said to me
He's your baby brother, we can see
The same brown hair, our mothers eyes
Distincrive features of the same bloodline
It happened for a reason don't you know
Our house was empty
And then they brought you home

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

It's kind of strange to watch you grow
18 candles, you left home
And the days i miss the most
Were with Lego bricks and hours lost
Your number saved but you don't call
And so weeks can go until we talk
We've both got kids, own our own home
I'm greying now, where did it go?

A photograph rests in a frame
Of me and you from younger days
And if it falls the glass might break
But brothers, will always remain

Remember on your wedding day
Your brides father gave her away
You turn around and said to me
I'm not gone yet, brothers for keeps
***** music played, a speech was made
To the first dance music our children played
Doing things we used to do
Then it was all over, guests leave the room
And in the middle me and you
And the memories of long ago
Where did all the years go ....

When i first saw your eyes
I didn't believe you truly exist
You gifted me a smile
Was there something evoloution missed ?
Came over and kissed my cheek
And the pain i had was gone
There's no words for your beauty
So instead i'll write your song
You mesmerise me !

With every breath you take
I find myself questioning my faith
Your a different kind, no man could create

Do you belive in magic ?
I really wish i did
You must be conjured from
My own wildest dreams

A billion people all over search for the answer
They'll never find it though, The answers within her

And i fell victim of
A different kind of love
I'm a victim of
Your unblemished looks
Come and sit with me please
My sweet Louise
You don't make it easy
For my mind to find peace

I could stare but never see
The darkness around of me
All your magic and sorcery
Has landed at my feet
Get over, get over yourself
You came and made me cry
I never thought perfection exists
Perfection became my bride

Lock us up inside a bubble
I couldn't love you more tomorrow

Each time i look away
You become more perfect
Then when i look back at you
You never fail to floor me

Broken little soldier ... that's your name for me
Let me hold you tight
For all your earthly faults
no flaws in you i see

I'm just a victim of your soft tender touch
Like a bad addiction, i can never get enough
I'm a victim of a different kind of love
Your my one addiction
And i can't give it up
