Alyssa

Twenty-three years ago, my world changed its hue

The moment that heaven delivered me you

My first granddaughter, a spark in the night

I held you so close, promised to raise you right

Through all of the seasons, right by your side

Watching you blossom has been my true pride

Alyssa, my greatest blessing, it’s true

There is a beautiful light shining out of you

If I had to give it all up, I wouldn't think twice

'Cause I love you more than my own life

Yeah, I love you more than my own life

Now you're a mother to three beautiful kids

Pouring your heart into all that you give

You keep us all laughing, your humor's a gift

Whenever we're heavy, you give us a lift

You walk in your faith, stepping steady and strong

Showing your babies exactly where they belong

Alyssa, my greatest blessing, it’s true

There is a beautiful light shining out of you

If I had to give it all up, I wouldn't think twice

'Cause I love you more than my own life

Yeah, I love you more than my own life

From the child that I raised to the woman I see

You are everything I ever hoped you would be

Your spirit, your grace, the deep faith in your soul

Just watching you shine is what makes my heart whole

Alyssa, my greatest blessing, it’s true

There is a beautiful light shining out of you

If I had to give it all up, I wouldn't think twice

'Cause I love you more than my own life

Yeah, I love you more than my own life

My first granddaughter, forever my light
