Julia

Nineteen ninety-seven in a little country town

Huntsville, Texas, when the grace of God came down

Inside that quiet hospital, a miracle began

The moment that I held you and I touched your tiny hand

Oh, Julia, my brown-haired, brown-eyed baby

You’re the sweetest gift the good Lord ever gave me

So loving and so funny, with a heart so pure and kind

You’ll always be my best friend, until the end of time

You didn't enter in this world alone or in the dark

You had a choir of family to hold you to their heart

Your daddy and I were weeping as Nana said a prayer

With Papa, Tio, and Aunt Paula standing right beside us there

Oh, Julia, my brown-haired, brown-eyed baby

You’re the sweetest gift the good Lord ever gave me

So loving and so funny, with a heart so pure and kind

You’ll always be my best friend, until the end of time

Through the years I've watched you grow, sincere in all you do

A thoughtful soul who shines a light, so beautiful and true

No matter how the seasons change, no matter where you roam

You'll always be my little girl, and my heart will be your home

Oh, Julia, my brown-haired, brown-eyed baby

You’re the sweetest gift the good Lord ever gave me

So loving and so funny, with a heart so pure and kind

You’ll always be my best friend, until the end of time

My brown-haired, brown-eyed baby, and my best friend for all time
