» Part of My Heart

A baby boy Looking up at me Small to hold Resting on my knee A baby boy There all dressed in white Ready to go To take home that night He’s only hours old Yet he sees me Very small to hold Yet he hears me He lives outside of me Yet he’s part of my heart Responding to my touch To the sound of my voice He lives outside of me Yet he’s never really far away He’ll always be a part of my heart A little man Getting dressed for school He’s growing up Learning what is “cool” A little man He’s learning right from wrong It isn’t easy But it will make him strong He’s nearly eight years old Yet he loves me Extends his hand to hold And that cheers me He lives outside of me Yet he’s part of my heart Responding to my touch To the sound of my voice He lives outside of me Yet he’s never really far away He’ll always be a part of my heart [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] As time goes by Two brothers side by side Both are loved And bring their daddy pride As time goes by There will be ups and downs Mistakes are made But smoothed when love abounds My boys are growing up Yet they love me One day they will move on But will remind me… They live outside of me Yet they’re part of my heart Responding to my touch To the sound of my voice They live outside of me Yet they’re never really far away They’ll always be a part of my heart They’ll always be a part of my heart
