*Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here don't you cry

Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always

Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different
But deep inside us
We're not that different at all

And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more

Don't listen to them
Cause what do they know?
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know

When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together

Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more

Oooo, you'll be in my heart
You'll be here in my heart
No matter what they say
I'll be with you
You'll be here in my heart
I'll be there always

Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always *


Dear Laura,
These are the lyrics to "You'll be in my heart" by Phil Collins. When mommy was pregnant with you, before we found out that you would have that special extra chromosome, I was listening to this song....and I thought of you. The words just described my love for you so perfectly even though I hadn't even met you yet. Then, after we found out about you maybe having Down Syndrome, I had this song on on my iPod in the iHome. Daddy said that it reminded him of you. Which was funny because I never even told Daddy that this song reminded ME of you! It was even extra special to us because it spoke of the heart alot(and we were told that you would have a heart defect). So, sweet baby, this is and forever will be YOUR song!
I love you!

Love,
Sissy

This is so sweet. You know that song on your video of Laura's surgery? That's the one that reminds us of Lily, because I put her "first few weeks video together" with that song. My husband and I can't hear it without getting a lump in our throat, it gets me every time.
Thanks so much for sharing- Love you!
