They'll See One; We'll See Two

A breath of relief then we hear the cryAnd tears of joy trails down our eyesYou’re gently laid upon my breastMy heart jumps with joy inside my chest

I look down at your perfect faceYour little fingers in mine lacedYou look around in curious wonderA big new world lies yonder

We’ll think about all the things you’ll doWhile you lay here and sigh and cooAnd we’ll think about what it’d be likeIf our first could be here with us tonight

One day we’ll tell you about the otherOne day you’ll know you’re a little brotherBut for now, we are going to shower our loveKnowing that she’s watching from above

You’ll live and laugh and love and playIt'll just be you, but we’ll see two anywayWe love the little soul we gotAnd the one we lost won’t be forgot

When you take your little napsShe’ll be there, filling the gapLet her spirit watch you tonightAs you drift calmly into the night

You’re life will fill ours with joyWith every bottle, diaper, and toyAnd as they see our growing love for youThey will see one while we see two
