you lost your life before it began
my child my baby my one of a kind

you left the womb without opening your eyes
and I didn't get to hold or tell you things would be alright

I didn't get to watch you grow up
become who you want to be

my slumber is my joy
and the window to what might've been
I dream of you in a white dress
finding someone to have a life with
walking down the aisle with my husband by your side
knowing we are passing you off to someone who will treat you right
I thought we´d raise you to know how to find it
in the presence of our everlasting love and growing respect

my slumber is my wish
I dream of you having a kid
maybe one that will call me Grandma
watch you attempt to handle the chaos

all you've ever known is peace
all you've ever known is my warm embrace

now you know jesus in a way we will get to in the end
now you know golden streets
and people we've lost along the way

in a few years you'll know my face
you'll know you brothers, sisters, and family
because even though we lost you to early
I assure you, you'll always be my baby
