about

This song is a love song for my daughter, it was written for her after a sudden and serious illness at the age of 1.5years old. Her bright, cheerful spirit carried us through the dark times and taught us a great deal. Children are our best teachers.

lyrics

Somewhere along the way I lost my direction;

Lost all enthusiasm and motivation;

In some ways you could call it a sense of convection-

Getting pulled by the needs of others no time for reflection!


Then you came along and you saved my life

You're sweet pure soul free from strife

You're a bandage for my bleeding heart

The first aid I need when I'm falling apart

And you know baby I'll always be on your side

Life with you is like catching a free ride


I gave you my heart with no hesitation

I fell for you from the moment of your creation

Your heavenly eyes say it all, you don't need words for communication

You lift my soul and raise me with a sense of elation


When you came along you saved my life

A breath of fresh air, a glimpse into paradise

You're the welcome I need when I come through the door

You pick me up again when I've been knocked onto the floor

And you know baby I'll always be on your side

Life with you is like catching a free ride
