Music has always been apart of me and Shawn both. We are hoping that Phoenix will inherit our musical talent gene and be a rockstar or Beethoven all on his own...So I used to sing to him a lot when I was pregnant, mainly because I was always singing. While I was pregnant I used to torture myself and read those sad blogs with the babies that only lived a few hours. So Sad. One of the blogs a mother of triplets lost the little baby boy (I forget how old he was, no more then 2 or 3 months) he was sick and was never able to come home with his two sisters. Long story short he passed away and the mom wrote about how she heard Alicia Key's "No One" and felt it was her and her baby boys song. I thought that was very sweet and touching and thought it would be nice to have a song with my baby. I had totally put it out of my mind until our 11 hour road trip when Edwin McCain's "I could not ask for more" came on. Listening to the words I knew that this was the Phoenix and Mommy song.
The lyrics say everything that I feel about this little boy. I love to just sit and watch and soak in every little thing he does. And not to be cheesy, but like the song says "these are the moments I'll remember all my life" I will. I will always remember how when he was not even 15 minutes old he held my finger and opened his big eyes and looked right at me. I was a goner and still am. I often joke to Shawn that I'm going to be that crazy mother-in-law who says things like (imagine in a creepy 'Mommy Dearest' voice) "She'll never be better then meeeeee! She'll never loooooove yoooouuuu like I doooooo!" Ok. A bit crazy I know. And no I'm not going to be like that, but I love him so much that I can't imagine him every leaving me. I sound crazy huh?
But it was when he was born I knew I was created to be just this. His mommy. And if I never become more then that I'll leave this earth happy because it's the best thing God could ever have let me do. Ok. I should stop. I'm crying now...I want to go wake him up and kiss him!
(song is playing above, if you haven't figured it out yet.)
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
[Chorus]
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered
Every dream I have's come true
And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
[Chorus]
I could not ask for more than the love you give me
'Coz it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more
