For Rosanna

This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine

A song for the baby who changed my life

I'll never forget when I saw you first

I thought that my heart would burst

With the love that I have

As I watch you sleeping in here tonight

And I hear your breathing so soft and light

I cannot believe all the things that I feel

When I hold you next to me

It's the love that I have

Oh, how my heart, it is shinin'

Oh, how my heart, it is shinin'

Oh, how this heart is shinin' through

With the love that I have

And as you are growing from baby to child

I share the wonders that are in your eyes

And I am amazed at the way you change

All according to the plan and the love that I have

And when you are older, you will go away

You'll see injustice and you'll see pain

But never forget that I'm always there

Like a shadow by your side, with the love that I have

Oh, my love, you have your mother's eyes

And when I see you laugh, you have your mother's smile

And you are mine all of my life

You are mine all of my love

You are mine, blood of my blood

You are mine

Oh, how my heart, it is shinin'

Oh, how my heart, it is shinin'

Oh, how my heart, it is shinin' through

With the love that I have
