lyrics

i long to feel your little fingers
wrapped tightly around my own
i long to see your smiling face
gazing back to my beaming eyes
i long to hear your ethereal voice
singing songs that have no words
i long to feel your heartbeat patter
to feel your chest move with every gasp

i sometimes imagine footprints on the floor
indentations from where you rose
and took your very first shaky steps
into my waiting arms

i hear a gentle voice that murmurs nothing
until finally two precious syllables are formed
and in that breath, mine is taken
my heart overflows with joy
tears begin to form in my eyes
as i look upon with pride the life i've created

but it all is just a figment
and i resign to the understanding
that this is not my intended purpose
there's something else i'm here to do
but whatever that something is
i would trade it all in just for you
