Madison and Mariyah

May twenty-second, two thousand and twelve

The first time my heart stepped outside of itself

Then November sixteenth, two thousand sixteen

The most beautiful moments that I've ever seen

Madison and Mariyah, my sweet little girls

You brought all the sunshine right into my world

I know I made huge mistakes along the way

I wasn't there like I should've been, I carry that weight

But I want you to know, wherever you go, wherever you might be

You mean the whole wide world to me

And I love you with everything in me

I look at your faces, I look at the years

Through all of my stumbles, my flaws, and my fears

I wasn't the steady hand I should have been

But you are the grace that keeps letting me in

Through all of the shadows and all of the strife

You two are the absolute best days of my life

I know I made huge mistakes along the way

I wasn't there like I should've been, I carry that weight

But I want you to know, wherever you go, wherever you might be

You mean the whole wide world to me

And I love you with everything in me

I can't turn back time to the days you were small

Or erase the hard moments I let you both fall

But as long as I'm breathing, I'm making it clear

My love for you daughters is why I am here

I know I made huge mistakes along the way

I wasn't there like I should've been, I carry that weight

But I want you to know, wherever you go, wherever you might be

You mean the whole wide world to me

Madison, Mariyah, you're the best part of me

And I love you with everything in me
