Erika's Song

Erika's Song - Bryan White

Seventy-five september

Cherokee sun shinnin' like an ember

God grinnin' down like a big proud pappa

And watchin' mama cry sweet tears

'Cause she's holdin' you for the first time

Safe in her arms like a rescue right out of the night

Lookin' down at her brown skinned

Brown eyed little miracle

Sayin' "I can't believe you're mine"

And I will never be the same

Because heaven has opened up my eyes

With the sweetest gift in this whole world

Finally I can see why I'm alive

When I touch your face I think of god's grace

And who am I to be so loved

How will I ever thank enough for the day

He gave you life

And the day he gave you to me

I'll never forget the moment

And the way you looked

When your vows were being spoken

You took my hand my name

And my heart

Together we two became one

And there's no way to measure

What you mean to me

Oh how it humbles me

But fills me with so much pride

To know how much you love me

Because everyday I see it clear

In our children's eyes

And you're the reason why

I will never be the same

Because heaven has opened up my eyes

With the sweetest gift in this whole world

Finally I can see why I'm alive

When I touch your face

I think of god's grace

And who am I to be so loved

How will I ever thank enough for the day

He gave you life

And the day he gave you to me

I am grateful so grateful

Because I get to be the man in your life

And I promise you I will carry you through

Love you til the end of time

And I will never be the same

Because heaven has opened up my eyes

With the sweetest gift in this whole world

Finally I can see why I'm alive

When I touch your face

I think of god's grace

And who am I to be so loved

How will I ever thank enough for the day

He gave you life

And the day he gave you to me

Yes the day he gave you life

And the day he gave you to me
