If there had never been a you
I never would have missed
The sparkle in your eyes
The sweetness in your kiss
The delight of rubbing noses
How your laughter fills my heart
This chapter of my life
Now its most important part

If there had never been a you
I never would have known
This boundless sense of wonder
Or just how much my love could grow
The beauty of your spirit
Your tiny hand in mine
Just to watch you sleep
Became my favorite pass of time

If there had never been a you
I couldn’t watch you grow
Into a woman, smart, and fearless
That I cannot wait to know
Desperately hoping
To be the mom that you deserve
Do you know how much I love you
When there aren’t any words?

If there had never been a you
Nothing would have changed
I’d never be the wiser
Though now it seems so strange
My very purpose for existing
I could have lived my whole life through
Walking through this life
Without the miracle of you

Before there was a you
No dream could have prepared
For the joy you’ve brought my life
Because nothing before compared
Now every waking moment
Every morning, every night
It’s all for you my perfect girl
My shining ray of light
