Special Day
My life has been special in so many ways
Among them there has been wonderful days
A few I remember, although they are gone
I listed here in this, my life’s song
Stay true to yourself, do others no harm
Right from the start, a baby in arms
Each life is so special, a gift for us all
Spend each day wisely, try not to fall
My parents they loved me. Every day
Their love was so special it kept me safe
They gave me my direction showed me the way
I found my vocation, worked hard every day
Earning a living, respect and position did I gain
Rose up in the company, proud of my name
Each life is so special, a gift for us all
Spend each day wisely, try not to fall
As I grew older company I really needed
school it was done exams all completed
Friends I had many. Most they were great
One became special, got right in my heart
One day we both stood, promised not to part
Our marriage was blessed, everyone came
Each life is so special, a gift for us all
Spend each day wisely, try not to fall
As a couple we went on trying our best
Then one day a baby. In our own little nest
So special a gift we created from love
All we had to do now, was help you grow up
twenty plus years have gone by the way
in my heart the two of you stay
Each life is so special, a gift for us all
Spend each day wisely, try not to fall
Many years passed you both not by my side
filled with shame I suppose I did hide
I look back now at the things that I've done
battles I fought lost a few but mostly won
but inside my heart the thing I want most
is to rid my mind of this terrible ghost
Each life is so special, a gift for us all
Spend each day wisely, try not to fall
Maybe one day we will meet all three, a feat
I look forward to that day to make me complete
then my life will be full, forget money and cars
without this repair on my heart I will still be last
So in my prayers and heart you have always been
all i want is for you both by my eyes to be seen.
