Lyrics

Five pounds nine ounces
That's what my heart weighs right now
She looked both ways
And crawled right in our lives to stay

Touch me once
That's where my heart is
Touch me twice
That's fuel for days
Touch me three times
I'm yours forever
Mommy brought you
Daddy was amazed
After six years, one week and five days

Maddi I could look at you for days
Excited by your progress
Sad to see you change
Raising you will surely be a treat
All the promise in the world
Never looked so sweet

Little fingers
Little toes
Mommy's face with daddy's nose
With every move our love only grows
