Baby Doll

I used to laugh at all your silly jokes
And you loved when I would sing
I never will forget your goofy grin
When you pulled out that diamond ring
You asked me one thing
What do you want from me
And I said
CHORUS
I want you to call me baby doll
And to be a soft place for me to fall
And I need your help in this crazy world
And don't forget that I'm your girl
And when I said I do I really do
Want you forever
We've been through so much
Keep taking punch after punch
We can do this together
Cause I feel stronger
Just knowing you are there
And at the end of the day
You'll still hear me say
Chorus x 2
And don't forget don't forget don't forget.
Don't forget don't forget don't forget
Don't forget don't forget don't forget
I'll always be your girl

Shine

A baby boy born without a chance
Machines and tubes keep him alive
His momma bends down to kiss his cheek
As the tears roll down her own
The doctors tell her there's nothing we can do
His life will end even though it's brand new
That momma whispered in her baby's ear
Your life matters
There's a reason you are here
And it's like she heard him say
CHORUS
I've got life in me
I will let it shine
I've got gifts to give the world
And I will shine
A little girl
A smile so bright
Suddenly in the fight for her life
They say it's cancer
There is no answer to why why why
And she says
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And if you're here for just one day or eighty years
There's a reason for each life
The gifts you give keep on giving
The love you give keeps on living
The love you give keeps on living
Yeah, your love is living it's living
CHORUS

Greta's Song
03:31

|
You flew into our lives
Like a little light
You twirled into our hearts
Front the very start
Your smile lit up the room
Like a star in the night
Little light little light
Precious little light of mine
We were forced into this life
We had no choice but to fight
It came so naturally
Your bravery
You fought with all your might
You put up such a brave fight
Little light little light
Precious little light of mine
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh
Ooooh
There's a hole in my soul
It will never heal
There's sadness in your daddy's eyes
It hurts to hear your brother's cries
Little light little light
Precious little light of mine
We will honor you
In every thing we do
Little light little light
Precious little light of mine

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are

The Lake
04:47

45 years ago grandpa took a drive
He bought it on a whim
A fun place to take the kids
And they could learn to swim
He got home and told grandma
I bought a cabin today
Don't be upset
It'll be our little get away
CHORUS
There's a lake
Where my troubles float away
Where my grandfather says hey
Come and see us
There's a lake
Where we pack a cooler at noon
And head out on the pontoon
To spend the afternoon
There's a lake
Running up the stairs
Dodging chairs
Racing my cousins up to the loft
23 or 24 mattresses covered the floor
No matter where I fell
It was sure to be soft
Every July
Fireworks lit up the sky
Better hold that sparkler away from your eye
CHORUS
Second and third generations
Fourth of July celebrations
Babies growing up
Learning how to jump
Off grandpa's boat
Playing King of the Raft
After doing grandma's craft
She always knew
To have something for us to do
Late night card games
Grandpa talking bout his days in the. Navy
Finally falling fast asleep after a long day in the sun
Waking up to grandma's biscuits and gravy
CHORUS
I know this lake will always be
A very big part of me
Where I go to search my soul
And find family
Looking out across the water
Passed the cattail grove
I know the ones we've loved and lost are waiting in the cove
They'll be waiting in the cove
CHORUS

Front Porch Swing
04:19
|
|||
|
Just some pieces of wood
Hanging from a chain
Always been painted white
Pretty simply and plain
I'd run through the house
Looking for you
9 times out of 10
I knew just where I'd find you
CHORUS
It's where you rocked your babies
Where you held us tight
Where you'd clear your mind
Sometimes you'd sit there all night
Where you'd wait out the thunder
Until you'd hear the little birds sing
What I wouldn't give
To sit with you again
On that front porch swing
Graduations and birthdays
Family and friends
Where we celebrated beginnings
And things coming to an end
Where I go to feel your hand holding mine
And if I listen really close I hear you sing one more time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
People say you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone it's gone it's gone it's gone
I'm still trying to tell my heart
Time after time after time
I never thought
The mother lost
Would be mine
Would be mine
CHORUS

Bamboo Tree
03:26
|
|||
|
We would sit around the campfire as a family
Singing songs new and old
We would sing our little hearts out as we watched the fire
And listened to the stories grandma told
When she was a little girl she'd sing the song "Workin' on the Railroad"
She would add a verse
And keep it going strong
And this is how it goes
And she'd sing
CHORUS
Underneath the Bamboo
Underneath the Bamboo tree
Room enough for you and me and
Room enough for 1234
When we get married
Happy we'll always be
Underneath the Bamboo tree
I grew up and moved away
I was on my own
Til I met you
Oh what a happy day when I told her
Grandma I met the one
And she sang
CHORUS
We added to our happiness
We had a son
And oh how he became our world
He is feisty
He's perfect
He has your smile
And my momma's eyes
Few years later
Nothing greater
We told him
You're in for a surprise
Very soon you'll be telling everyone
Here's my father my mother and my baby brother
Look how far we've come
And we sang
CHORUS
As fate would have it we were meant to add another soul
The gift of a little girl
We're a family
A team
A well oiled machine
It's us against the world
And we sing
CHORUS

Your Love Song
05:42
|

|
I know on the radio you hear so many love songs
But this one's different
This one's for you
And I wrote it straight from my heart
Baby baby where do I start
CHORUS
This is your love song
From me
To you
Ooo ooo ooo
This is your love song
From me
To you
Ooo ooo ooo
I love the way you laugh
I love how you sing in the shower
It still amazes me how you can talk my ear off for hours and hours
CHORUS
And I love watching you be a daddy
Watching you hold your child close
It's the most wonderful thing I could ever see
CHORUS
I love how you're so supportive
At home at work
With your friends and your family
You simply believe in everyone you meet
And thank you for believing in me
CHORUS
I know on the radio
You hear so many love songs
But this one's different
This one's for you
And I wrote it
Straight from my heart
Baby baby where do I start

Thank You
06:06

How can I put into words
The gratitude I feel
How can I convey to you
And show you I'm for real
My heart's been shattered
The fear is still there
But I wouldn't have made it this far
Without your love and care
CHORUS
I can feel it
I can see it
I can feel it so strong
I can feel it
I can see it
How you've carried us along
With every like and every share
And every meal you prepared
for my family to eat
Cause I was gone another week
Sitting in that hospital room
Where it quickly felt like a tomb
Ohh, just knowing you were there
And that you care
CHORUS
When you had your fundraising event
And you named my family as recipient
You didn't have to do that
We're so grateful you held us up
CHORUS
When your daughter set up that lemonade stand
And that nineteen dollars in quarters
was placed in my hand
It was all I could do
Not to break down and cry at the love of it all
Every hug and every smile
Every look of understanding, I see it
When we go up to pay our dinner bill and the server says "someone already paid it" oohhh
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You love me but more importantly you love my family
Words will never be enough
To show you what that means to us
And we thank you
Because of you I have the strength
to carry on to carry on
Yes I do
CHORUS
Thank you, thank you, ohh thank you, thank you
From the bottom of this mother's heart
From the bottom of this mother's heart
From the bottom of this mother's heart
Thank you
