Through The Eyes Of A Child
I can see once again
Through the eyes of a child
I remember once, a little one
Who loved to run wild
Full of excitement
On the cause of Easter Morn
All dressed up for the Easter egg hunt
In her new dress proudly worn
I still can see that little girl
With the sparkle in her eyes
Who showed her love unbounding
Through her giggles and her sighs
And now it's hard to realize
How quickly you have grown
To proud and glorious womanhood
Now carrying a child of your own
A child you've wanted so badly
For oh so many years
A child you thought you'd never see
As you fought back many tears
I am so proud and happy
Your time is finally near
I'll love him like I've loved you
And I'll always be close... right here
You know I'm proud as a father can be
To see you excited again
Just like those days when you were young
And so eager for your life to begin
Through the eyes of a child I hope you can see
The joy your child will bring
In his growing years when it's your turn
To share his joy and sing
Just like I'm singing to you...
In my heart where it always is true
That you're still my little girl running wild
I can see it...
Through the eyes of a child
