This song is one of the two songs that I listened religiously to throughout my pregnancy with Lilly. Below are the lyrics and below the lyrics is the video. We had Michelle, our friend and photographer from NILMDTS (Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep) and Rachel's Gift make our DVD of Lilly's pictures to this song. She did an amazing job!!! The song depicts exactly the emotions we felt throughout our never ending journey with having Lilly Elizabeth as our daughter.
“One More Day"
I’ll never get to hold you
I’ll never hear your sweet voice sing
I’ll never get to say ‘I told you so’
I’ll never read to you, or get to teach you anything
But you’ll always be my hope
You’ll always be my first light
You’re always gonna be daddy’s little girl
You’ll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day
I’m gonna miss your first day of school
I’ll never see you turn that page
I’ll never see you in your graduation gown
And I’m never gonna see you coming of age
But you’ll always be my hope
You’ll always be my first light
You’re always gonna be mommy’s little girl
You’ll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day
Sweet angel of mercy
Coming down to comfort me
Faith, sit right here beside me
I never want you to go away
I’m always gonna wonder how you’d look
Always gonna wish I took your place up there
You’ll always be our hope
You’ll always be our first light
You’re always gonna be our little girl
You’ll always be the strength we need to make it in this world
We only wish for one more day
We only wish for one more day

i feel so bad that you thought I was referring to your comment. I wasn't I promise. I think you are amazing. I could barely breath in those first few months, and the fact that you reached out to me when your grief is so fresh and raw speaks to what an amazing person you are.
