Tears of Joy



Tears of joy are falling
My baby girl is crawling
Across the floor today
Tomorrow, she’s miles away

She’s learning to read
Oh, the books in her head
A new chapter awaits
What happens next
Reading it cover to cover
And over again
New stories are written
It’s hard to keep track
Seems like yesterday she was crawling
Tears of joy are falling

Now, my baby girl is growing up
Starting a life with someone she loves
New chapters are written
Old stories remain
A tale worth telling
About a little girl, so wise beyond belief
Love, mystery, suspense, and drama
Time to sit down and take a break
She found the perfect book to read
One that never ends
Tears of joy are falling
