There is a light inside of you
blue eyes that light up a room
it was your heart that saw me thru
love of a child that i mother to
A crooked smile and a blankie
big blue eyes smiling back at me
life wasnt given to you by me
but my baby is all that I see
There was a sign daddy taught you
that let you know everything is alright
your hand in mine and you always knew
that he would love you til the end of time
but the ghost in the doorway
makes no way to get passed
my fears echo the hallway
and your voice is heard last
A crooked smile and a blankie
big blue eyes smiling back at me
life wasnt given to you by me
but my baby is all that I see
