For Rosanna

For Rosanna

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine
A song for the baby who changed my life
I'll never forget when I saw you first
I thought that my heart would burst
With the love that I have

As I watch you sleeping in here tonight
And I hear your breathing so soft and light
I cannot believe all the things that I feel
When I hold you next to me
It's the love that I have

Oh how my heart it is shining
Oh how my heart it is shining
Oh how this heart is shining through
With the love that I have

And as you are growing from baby to child
I share the wonders that are in your eyes
And I am amazed at the way you change
All according to the plan
And the love that I have

And when you are older you will go away
You'll see injustice and you'll see pain
But never forget that I'm always there
Like a shadow by your side
With the love that I have

Oh my love, you have your mother's eyes
And when I see you laugh, you have your mother's smile
And you are mine all of my life
You are mine, all of my love
You are mine, blood of my blood
You are mine;

Oh how my heart it is shining
Oh how my heart it is shining
Oh how my heart it is shining through
With the love that I have
