2nd Trimester

So I'm balling my eyes out at my desk.

I have the radio on and Martina McBride's song "In My Daughter's Eyes" just came on...

I never really got how beautiful this song was until just now... 

 In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero I am strong and wise
And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh, It puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart
Has had enough
It's giving more when you feel
Like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what will be
And though she'll grow
And someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

  • OMG! ?That song makes me tear up bad every time I hear it in the car!
  • Loading the player...
  • I have to change the channel when that comes on the radio. It makes me cry.
  • I love the words of the song....but her voice is hard to listen to for the entire song.  Still a good one...

  • I have a daughter and I'm pretty sensitive to these things, but I think this song is gagtastic.

     

    And it's bawling, not balling.

  • I agree!  I cannot make it through half that song before it makes me start crying.
  • That is a great song. I would so be tearing up too.

  • Talking about songs that make ya cry.. this one gets me every time and I am not even sure if I am having a boy or a girl

    "All-American Girl"

    Since the day they got married
    He'd been praying for a little baby boy
    Someone he could take fishing
    Throw the football and be his pride and joy
    He could already see him holding that trophy
    Taking his team to state
    But when the nurse came in with a little pink blanket
    All those big dreams changed

    And now, he's wrapped around her finger
    She's the center of his whole world
    And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
    All American girl

    Sixteen short years later
    She was falling for the senior football star
    Before you knew it he was dropping passes
    Skipping practice just to spend more time with her
    The coach said, hey son what's your problem
    Tell me have you lost your mind
    Daddy said you'll lose your free ride to college
    Boy, you better tell her goodbye

    But now, he's wrapped around her finger
    She's the center of his whole world
    And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
    All American

    And when they got married and decided to have one of their own
    She said, be honest, tell me what you want
    And he said, honey you outta know

    A sweet, little, beautiful one just like you
    I want a beautiful, wonderful, perfect All American

    Now, he's wrapped around her finger
    She's the center of his whole world
    And his heart belongs to that sweet, little, beautiful, wonderful, perfect
    All American girl
