I had to share my favorite Christmas gift I received this year. My little sis, Kristi, had our family for the family gift exchange. We were spoiled with various home made gifts from the talented duo. After all of the gifts were were exchanged, she said she had one more little thing for me. But we all had to go in the family room where the cd player was. Kristi and Sean wrote and sang/played a song for me (and Nate!) I need to figure out how to post a song on the blog, and when I do, I will most definitely let you hear the song. It is amazing. Kristi is a little girl jam-packed with musical talent. She amazes me with her gift of music. They recorded the song at home with several different tracks. She played the guitar and sang at the same time, then recorded two different harmony parts to add to her singing, Sean played guitar solos, Kristi added a piano track...and I'm sure I'm missing some of it. You just have to hear it. But until then, here are the beautiful words.
Oh, one more cute note. Kristi has spoiled me with songs, poems, and a movie over the past 2 1/2 years. Each thing has been about our hard times with our babies. They have been treasures to me and have captured feelings and memories better than anything ever could. Jokingly, I recently told her that I didn't want any more songs written for me (only implying that I didn't want to lose another baby). Before playing this song for me, she said "I know you didn't want another song, but I had to, because this was a happy one!"
Thank you, Kristi! I love it, love it, love it, and listen to it over and over with Nate in my arms!
That I'm stayin, oh, I am staying, oh with you.
In your eyes, I see, the way you look at me,
That you like me, oh, that you love me, oh this way.
Now I can smile today,
Smile
Cuz I can Hear you laugh
And now I can hear you cry
And now I can sing you lullabye
No goodbye, this time.
You hear angels speak
You speak to me
And whisper softly to me,
So that I can Hear them laugh
And so I can hear them cry
And so I can sing them lullabye
Oh tell them I said "hi,"
You hear angels speak
You speak to me
And whisper softly to me,
No goodbye
No goodbye
Cuz I can hear you laugh
And now I can hear you cry
And now I can sing you lullabye
No goodbye
No goodbye
This time
