Leann

I remember the day that you came to this earth,

Looked in your eyes, understood my own worth.

The day you were born, all the clouds washed away,

I've been thanking the Lord for you every single day.

Leann, you are strong, you are smart, you are bright,

A beautiful soul shining out in the night.

God brought you to me, placed your hand right in mine,

You're a heavenly blessing, a perfect design.

I have always loved you, Leann, that’s the truth,

From the day you arrived through the days of your youth.

And when the Lord finally calls me back home,

You’ll never be walking this journey alone.

Even up in heaven, looking down from above,

I will still be right there, I will still give you love.

Time moving fast, I've been watching you grow,

Through all of the beautiful stages you know.

Saw you graduate, stepping right out in the sun,

Got the job that you wanted, the victory won.

Now I look at your hand and I see that new ring,

Getting engaged, what a beautiful thing.

You're building a life, standing tall on your own,

But you're still the best blessing that I've ever known.

I have always loved you, Leann, that’s the truth,

From the day you arrived through the days of your youth.

And when the Lord finally calls me back home,

You’ll never be walking this journey alone.

Even up in heaven, looking down from above,

I will still be right there, I will still give you love.

Strong, smart, and beautiful, all of the above,

You're the living definition of a heaven-sent love.

Every prayer that I sent, every tear that I cried,

God answered them all with you right by my side.

Forever my daughter, forever my heart,

Not even eternity tears us apart.

I have always loved you, Leann, that’s the truth,

From the day you arrived through the days of your youth.

And when the Lord finally calls me back home,

You’ll never be walking this journey alone.

Even up in heaven, looking down from above,

I will still be right there, I will still give you love.
