TO MY DAUGHTER

How can you know where you haven't been?

After the storm of the night before

I arose from my bed feeling new and clean.

They tell you about the pain

They tell you about the sleepless nights

They tell you about your life

That it will never be the same.

CHORUS

But oh my child, my baby girl they never say

They never say

That from today a brand new day.

I rose from my bed to see the truth.

The perfect miracle of you

Your tiny hands were open as you slept

You breathed so easily

I wept.

NEW VERSE

The years have flown away from me

Your sister born, your brother

There are times I know you might have wished

You'd had a better mother

There are words we haven't spoken

And moments that have passed

But my love was always there

CHORUS

And oh my child my baby girl they never say

They never say

That from today a brand new day

I rose from my bed to see the truth

The perfect miracle of you

Your hands were open as you slept

You breathed so easily

I wept.
