So precious were you in this thing called life
Everyday that you were here on this earth
Giving comfort and joy to my lonesome strife
Happiness filled my life with your birth
My heart burst with a father's love and joy
I held you in my arms, thanking the Lord above
For blessing my life with a beautiful baby boy
I was over consumed with a new kind of love
You gave my soul a joyful reason to cry
Little did I know, I'd drown in my own tears
My tears turned to anger with questions of Why?
You lived and loved an amazing full five years
A gifted spirit as precious as silver and gold
Then you vanished before the first rays of dawn
So precious were you, before a chance to grow old
In the blink of an eye life's cruel curtain was drawn
With you in my arms, I'd rock steady in my chair
I would cradle you against my chest each night
Dreaming of a lifetime of dreams for us to share
I hear your giggle in the warmth of morn's light
Suddenly all I cherished vanished under the covers
The living horror and disbelief still haunts me
Killed by a drunk driver, both you and your mother
So precious were you and my love will always be...
