Birthday Buddies

We used this song in our wedding...and while I will always see it as a song I share with my husband, the words were very appropriate to share with our little girl, too. Daddy and I will be here...always!

I Will Be Here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
If in the dark, we lose sight of love,
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I will be here.

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet.
When you need to speak your mind,
I will listen.
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'.
Through the winning, losing and trying,
We'll be together.
I will be here.

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear,
I will be here.
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here.

I will be here,
And you can cry on my shoulder.
When the mirror tells us we're older,
I will hold you.
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me.
I will be here.

I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me.

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear,
I will be here.
Oh, I will be here.

Nine years ago today, we had the blessing of welcoming our first child into the world on my birthday. While at the time I thought this might prove awkward....I see it now as such an honor to be "Birthday Buddies!"

Happy Birthday Song

Happy 9th Birthday to my BEST birthday present ever!

We love you, Emily Susanne Foote!
