Annalee

They placed you in my arms, right against my chest

I looked into your eyes and I couldn't catch my breath

When you finally took yours, reaching for the light

It felt like I was breathing for the first time in my life

I fell absolutely in love right then and there

A bond so deep and sudden, nothing could compare

Oh, Annalee, your smile lights up the room

You've got a tender heart that chases off the gloom

You're beautiful and kind, you are my saving grace

I love your amazing laugh and your silly little face

More than any words could ever put together

Mommy promises to love you, always and forever

Now you're three years old, and you're my very best friend

We do everything together till the daytime ends

You care about everybody that you ever see

And every minute I'm your mom is a blessing to me

I look at who you are, and I'm so proud every day

Watching how you walk along your sweet and gentle way

Oh, Annalee, your smile lights up the room

You've got a tender heart that chases off the gloom

You're beautiful and kind, you are my saving grace

I love your amazing laugh and your silly little face

More than any words could ever put together

Mommy promises to love you, always and forever

When you're feeling sick or sad, I'll hold you in the night

Reading bedtime stories by the fading bedroom light

You are so incredibly smart, and you've got so much to give

You're the greatest reason that I'll ever have to live

Oh, Annalee, your smile lights up the room

You've got a tender heart that chases off the gloom

You're beautiful and kind, you are my saving grace

I love your amazing laugh and your silly little face

More than any words could ever put together

Mommy promises to love you, always and forever
