Testo di 'Erika's Song' di 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
