Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
Circle of Love
Hey there little sleepy child
You melt my heart every time you smile
You fill my life in a special way
My words just can?t describe
All the things that I hoped you?d be
All my secret little fantasies
They could never touch the love I see
When I look into your eyes
On and On
On and On
On and on it goes Chorus
You are what I once was
And I am what you?ll become
Such a tiny little helpless thing
You need your parents here for everything
You need the comfort that their love can bring
To help you grow up strong and kind
All the comfort that you need from me
That?s a gift I give you willingly
As your parents gave their love to me
I return it now to you
(Chorus)
There?s so much I?d like to say to you
About the things that you?ll be going through
About the choices that will come to you
As the years run by your door
If I could I?d like to keep you here
Wrap you up in all the love I feel
I?d like to keep you from the pain you?ll know
But we all have our cross to bear
(Chorus)
