Blessings for Liam (Remix)

(Soft piano chords drift in, a warm acoustic guitar melody follows)

(Gentle, steady brush of the snare)

The morning light is breaking soft and gold

A brand new story waiting to be told

I look at you and then I look at him

Welcome to this world, my little Liam

My heart is full, it’s overflowing now

I’m making you a silent, sacred vow

To hold you close and keep you from the cold

To watch you grow and see your life unfold

Oh, Eunice, thank you for this gift of grace

For the love that shines upon your tired face

We built this home with patience and with care

And now a new heartbeat is resting there

From the very start until the end of time

You are the rhythm and the perfect rhyme

Eunice, my love, you gave us everything

This is the song our hearts will always sing

And Ludolph stands beside us, tall and wide

With wonder and a brother’s quiet pride

He’s waiting for the day they’ll run and play

To chase the shadows of the night away

And Ludwin joins the circle, hand in hand

Three little shadows in the shifting sand

I look at all my boys, my legacy

The greatest blessing that could come to me

Oh, Eunice, thank you for this gift of grace

For the love that shines upon your tired face

We built this home with patience and with care

And now a new heartbeat is resting there

From the very start until the end of time

You are the rhythm and the perfect rhyme

Eunice, my love, you gave us everything

This is the song our hearts will always sing

Dennis is the name, but love is who I am

Protected by the shepherd and the lamb

Through every season, through the joy and pain

We’ll stand together through the sun and rain

Eunice, you are the rock, you are the star

I love you for exactly who you are

So sleep now Liam, rest your tiny head

With sweet dreams dancing 'round your little bed

Ludolph and Ludwin are watching over you

A bond of brothers, loyal, deep and true

The house is quiet but the love is loud

I’m standing here, so grateful and so proud

This family is the treasure that I keep

While all the world is drifting off to sleep

Oh, Eunice, thank you for this gift of grace

For the love that shines upon your tired face

We built this home with patience and with care

And now a new heartbeat is resting there

From the very start until the end of time

You are the rhythm and the perfect rhyme

Eunice, my love, you gave us everything

This is the song our hearts will always sing

For Liam, for Ludolph, for Ludwin too

For Eunice, my love, this song is all for you

(Fade out with soft piano and acoustic guitar)

Yeah, for all of you.

(Instrumental fade)

My heart is full.
