And I Love You So

And I Love You So

So close and yet so far away
just out of reach you are
I remember the day you were born,
you were my shinning star

I gave to you your first kiss
and sang you a sweet lullabye
A year has passed, how time has flown
to think so small, and how you've grown

You gave me hope when I couldn't see
how to make it day by day
I've nurtured and I've cared for you
and now you've gone away

Why must we have to suffer,
me and my baby boo
No longer can I hold you
and there is nothing I can do

My arms they ache with emptiness
the smile on my face is gone
With all the love you have given
I wonder what could have went wrong

Your parents cannot make it
together as a pair
And so from me you are taken
and this isn't fair

I have always been the one,
the rock you've had to cling
And now my heart is broken,
no longer can I sing

I know that you are missing me
as I am missing you
And that if it was up to me
I would be with you baby boo

Today it is your birthday
and no party will you have
But all my love I send to you
so try and not be sad

If only I could be with you now
nothing short of death would keep me away
You deserve the best my little one
on this and every day

Your gramma loves and misses you
and when we had to part
Your mother took away with you
the best part of my heart....
