Latoye

Looking back on the days when our journey started

For ten whole years, it was just you and I

Through birthdays and baptisms, we were never parted

Family and friends, watching time fly by

We built a world on love, just me and my girl

You were my center, my rock in this world

Latoye, you grew up so beautiful and strong

I knew you had that magic all along

Now you're thirty-nine, making memories of your own

With your husband and your daughter in a happy home

But no matter where you go or how much you grow

You're my firstborn, the only daughter I know

Celebrate you today, let your spirit shine

My sweet Latoye, I love you, you are mine

You've always been brave, so incredibly smart

Willing to give it all from the bottom of your heart

Fiercely protective of the people you care for

Family and friends know you'll always be there for

The ones that you love, standing tall through it all

You step to the plate and you answer the call

Now you're thirty-nine, making memories of your own

With your husband and your daughter in a happy home

But no matter where you go or how much you grow

You're my firstborn, the only daughter I know

Celebrate you today, let your spirit shine

My sweet Latoye, I love you, you are mine

So trust the process, baby, take it day by day

Always put God first, let Him lead the way

Know that He loves you, and my love is so deep

These are the promises I pray you always keep

Today is your day, take a look at your life

A beautiful mother, a beautiful wife

But you're still my firstborn, making memories of your own

With your husband and your daughter in a happy home

No matter where you go or how much you grow

You're my firstborn, the only daughter I know

Celebrate you today, let your spirit shine

Always my baby, Latoye, you are mine
