Bella

I remember squeezing into your baby crib

Just to close my eyes and sleep beside you

You were so little, but you had this light

A kind, good heart that always shines through

I still hear that sweet song you used to croon

"I love Daddy, I love Daddy, yes I do"

You’re so smart and beautiful, my whole world

You will always be Daddy's little girl

I wish there was no such thing as tattoos

The marks and the choices that left me without you

If I could wash it away, I'd change the whole world

Because then I know I would still have my girls

I only wanted us together forever, it's true

I love you and Mommy, and I'll always miss you

We went down to Disney when you were so small

You might not remember that magic at all

But I kept the memories of you spinning around

Now you're a dancer who barely touches the ground

And out on the softball dirt, you bring the heat

Watching you grow makes my whole life complete

You are my pride and my greatest prize

Even when I can't be right there by your side

I wish there was no such thing as tattoos

The marks and the choices that left me without you

If I could wash it away, I'd change the whole world

Because then I know I would still have my girls

I only wanted us together forever, it's true

I love you and Mommy, and I'll always miss you

If my time comes and I have to leave

To go be with Jesus, I don't want you to grieve

Whenever you're lost and you need me there

Just call for me, Bella, I'll answer your prayer

I'll be right beside you, unseen but so near

I promise I'll always be listening, dear

I wish there was no such thing as tattoos

The ink and the distance that left me without you

If I could wash it away, I'd change the whole world

Because then I know I would still have my girls

I only wanted us together forever, it's true

I love you and Mommy, and I'll always miss you

You sang "I love Daddy, yes I do"

And Bella, I will always love you
