lyrics

Little hands reaching up from out your womb,
into the bright white room.
Little lungs filling up.
To feel your touch, to get to know you.

And she will love you so very much,
unconditionally, unbelievable.
And she will turn you to dust,
no longer hardened to the touch.
A flashbulb memory.

A summer morning, your mom and I
in the great room, sharing a happy cry,
cause life had been so very hard,
and in that moment, the tight knot we harvested fell apart.
When we knew that light was on its way,
the darkest dark of days were passing by.
When we saw you on that X-ray screen,
so perfect, so serene.
Nothing before mattered at all.

And she will love you so very much,
unconditionally, unbelievable.
And she will turn you to dust,
no longer hardened to the touch.
A flashbulb memory.
