When they handed me my baby,
They took some of my heart.
They said it’ll never beat the same,
Now it’s missing a precious part.
*
They took that piece to put in you,
So I’ll feel your every pain.
I’ll feel your joys, your laughs, your cries,
Your losses and your gains.
*
It’s always easy loving you,
When you smile with those eyes.
The ones that say ‘I need you Mum,
You are my world, my dusk, my rise.’
*
But in those early night time hours,
When it’s cold and quiet and dark.
We’ve already been up twice together,
Well, the tiredness leaves it’s mark.
*
I can feel the hot fat bulging tears,
Come rolling down my cheeks.
I start to think ‘I can’t do this anymore’
And out the salty water leaks.
*
I take a little moment,
And I have a little cry,
I need to let the tiredness out,
If I’m to sit with you all night.
*
But then I feel you move against me,
I feel your curling hands,
I feel your warm, perfect body,
As I provide you your demands.
*
Now the tiredness still sits there,
It’s deep within my bones,
But it’s something I can handle,
Knowing we won’t ever be alone.
*
You and I are bound together,
Forever and then some more.
Because that little piece of heart I lost
It’s deep within your core.
*
I wouldn’t change a single thing,
Even when I’m feeling blue.
Because when they handed me my baby,
What they were handing me, was you.
