I asked a star to linger Although they seldom do It stopped for just a minute once So I could speak of you. I had to ask the little star Before the day could wake To take the time to talk of you And record the vows I make. The star, she listened to my thoughts She knew just what to do She headed back into the sky With things I promised you. Chelsey, I have waited long I致e rocked you in my sleep And what I told the little star Are the promises I will keep. We値l run among the flowers And count rings round the moon I値l watch you take your baby steps I know you値l grow too soon. I値l rock you when you池e sleepy And keep you from the rain I promise you, my little girl I値l cry if you池e in pain. I値l cry on your first day of school And help you face your fears I値l watch you grow; I値l cheer you on And wipe away your tears. I promise not to hold too tight I値l let you travel far You need my help; I will be there No matter where you are. But most of all my Chelsey I promise to always be Thankful for the little girl Whose heart and soul picked me. So when you are uncertain Or wonder who you are Think of me; my little girl It痴 written in the stars.
