As I Stand Beside You
As I stand beside you and weep
I know you will be getting very little sleep
Yesterday you were as small as the birds
But through the years I brought you upwards
Today as you rock your angel to a hush
Your motherly love will awaken in a rush
He will be like a diamond in your eye
And as bright as the sunlight from the sky
Now you and your son will reach for the stars
Just as he will dream of racing cars
Over the years I taught you to fly
But today I stand here and cry
