Dad used to say that it was moms smile that hooked him That he knew for certain she was the one I cottoned on early I wanted that also In it to win the marathon run Driveins and dances, of these there were plenty And while I admit I did have some fun Though I did play, I was never a player No way would I marry at the point of a gun She was a tomboy with a whole mess of brothers I was the eldest with sisters galore First met her at church with our folks right beside us For the first time ever I was unsure When next I saw her she was driving a pickup All blue jeans and flannel just one of the guys We got to talking and we got to laughing And I realised shes NOT one of the guys It happened slowly and it happened easy It happened one evening with the stars in the sky As she gazed up at me, I had a vision I saw my babies in my babys eyes She was a vision in white lace and satin She was a vision burned into my heart To have and to hold, from this day forward To love and to cherish, till death do us part She was a vision so little so fragile All swaddled in pink, right there in my arms As she gazed up at me, I had a vision I saw my baby in our babys eyes What next I remember, she was driving a pickup All blue jeans and flannel just one of the guys They got to talking and they got to laughing Saw him realise, shes NOT one of the guys She was a vision in white lace and satin She was a vision, burned into my heart His to have and to hold, from this day forward His to love and cherish, till death do them part She was a vision in pearl lace and satin She was a vision burned into my heart Mine to have and to hold, from now and for always Mine to love and cherish, till death will us part He was a vision so fragile so little All swaddled in blue, right there in my arms As he gazed up at me, I had a vision I saw my baby in their babys eyes Our littlest peeked out, a vision in violet And stood there uncertain, not knowing what to do I smiled and motioned Honey, come on over. And into my arms like a missile she flew After a cuddle with her head on my shoulder She gazed up at me with a look that I knew She said Poppa, I miss Gramma and the floor fell out from under I held her close and I whispered Me too, honey. Me too. When next I saw her she was driving a pickup All blue jeans and flannel just one of the guys We got to talking and we got to laughing And I realised shes NOT one of the guys It happened slowly and it happened easy It happened one evening with the stars in the sky As she gazed up at me, I had a vision I saw my babies in my babys eyes I saw my babies in my babys eyes I saw my babies in my babys eyes
