Love The Ones We're Blessed With

FIRST VERSE
She caught your eye freshman year chemistry class
Jordache jeans & shirt of her favorite hair metal band
She smiled at you and then you smiled right back
You never knew a smile could rock you like that
High school sweetheart survived the college years
College graduation she said yes and you were both in tears
Watching her walk the aisle in her dress and saying "I do"
You both teared up again knowing this love was true
Who knew that one smile could lead to her being your wife
And fill your heart with love throughout your lives

CHORUS
Life is sometimes filled with laughter and heart break
Some decisions work out and some end up as mistakes
And over time, some people will come and go in our lives
Some will become our inspiration and help us to thrive
It doesn't matter race or religion, named Gonzales or Smith
We should remember to love the one's we're blessed with

SECOND VERSE
You watched her born from her mother's womb
And Suddenly tears of joy filled the room
She'll grow up to be her daddy's little girl
And the center of your whole world 
One day it'll be time to give that baby away
But until then, she'll be the cause of your joy today
Every decision you make will impact her life
And you pray to God every day you'll raise her right
You'll experience milestones together that make you melt
And realize how good a true blessing in life felt

REPEAT CHORUS
Life is sometimes filled with laughter and heart break
Some decisions work out and some end up as mistakes
And over time, some people will come and go in our lives
Some will become our inspiration and help us to thrive
It doesn't matter race or religion, named Gonzales or Smith
We should remember to love the one's we're blessed with

FINAL VERSE
Mom was your source of morals and love
She even was the one who bought your first baseball glove
Now you're both older and experienced so much life
She helped out with the kids when you lost your wife
But now it seems as though mom is the one needing you
The Alzheimer's prognosis has been proven to be true
She's going to need your round the clock 24/7 care
And she'll be so blessed to have someone like you there
Even those moments she can't seem to recall your name
You'll see her smile and know she loves you just the same

REPEAT CHORUS
Life is sometimes filled with laughter and heart break
Some decisions work out and some end up as mistakes
And over time, some people will come and go in our lives
Some will become our inspiration and help us to thrive
It doesn't matter race or religion, named Gonzales or Smith
We should remember to love the one's we're blessed with

Life passes quickly before our very eyes
And we should love the one's we're blessed with
