Cami Thompson: LISTEN TO MUSIC

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I wrote this to honor motherdom - scares the heck outta me, so I never tried it! But I think it might feel like this - holding your child for the first time! I honor my sister and mom and friends with this "lullaby"... Peter Supersano is so "loving" on piano - he's a great dad!

CHILD OF MINE
music & lyrics by Cami Thompson

CHILD OF MINE, I AM FINALLY HOLDING YOU CLOSE TO ME
CHILD OF MINE, IN MY MIND THIS PLACE IN TIME WILL ALWAYS BE
A TREASURE MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD
A MOMENT THAT NO MAN CAN HOLD
A BLESSING OF LOVE SENT FROM ABOVE
THE GREATEST GLORY EVER KNOWN
CHILD OF MINE, YOU ARE FINALLY HOME

CHILD OF MINE, I AM FINALLY HOLDING YOU IN MY ARMS
CHILD OF MINE, NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO KEEP
YOU SAFE FROM HARM
THOUGH YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY
YOU'LL STUMBLE AND FALTER AND STRAY
THOUGH TEARDROPS MAY FALL; STILL THROUGH IT ALL
YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE
CHILD OF MINE, I WILL ALWAYS BE HOME

Bridge 1:
I WILL BE LIVING ONLY TO SEE THE LIGHT SHINING BRIGHT IN YOUR EYES
I WILL BE PRAYING THAT ALL OF YOUR LIFE YOU WILL KNOW THAT MY LOVE NEVER DIES

[orchestral section]

Bridge 2:
I'LL ALWAYS TRY TO BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED SOMEONE TO CARE
I MAY NOT KNOW ALL I SHOULD KNOW
BUT AS I SOW, SO SHALL I REAP

CHILD OF MINE,
HUSH NOW,
IT'S TIME TO SLEEP
