your eyes are oceans of wonder
your hearts are skies of endless blue
and your dreams, innocent adventures
and I thank God for you
yes, I thank God for you

you're talking like a lady
you hold your heads up high and true
when you laugh, it sparkles like a river
and I thank God for you

I know of thorns and roses
I've watched you learn to know them too
and I pray that fear melts in the fragrance
as I thank God for you
how I thank God for you

no one can tell you how it feels
to hold the hand of your little girl
and no pain or loss makes it less real
I have been shown there's beauty in this world

I'm singing as you sweetly drift off
to sleep, to grow another day
I hope there is a special room in Heaven
where moms and dads can watch their children play
I want you to grow, but I want you to stay
my little girls
my little girls
I thank God for you, my little girls
