Rachel's Song Songtext

von Jeff Healey Band

Looking at you now
As you wake in the morning to start a new day
I can't help but feel some concern
How much are you going to learn as
I'm running after you
As you race to the kitchen for your milk and your toys
Be careful, now you're moving too fast
How I wish all these moments could last
Oh well, sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes it hurts me
To think of your life yet unknown
I'm never sure just how much to advise you
Or that you figure out on your own
Now I just can't believe
That you're walkin' and talkin' and countin' to ten
You know all your loved ones by name
And you're excited to learn a new game
How the time does fly
It might be unfair to say it but still I'm afraid
Before that I get used to watching you grow
You'll become a young woman, I know
Oh now please don't start crying
Don't misunderstand me
Forgive me for sharing my fright
I try to tell you how proud I am of you
But the words never come out just right
Now I'm taking you in bed
I say a prayer for your safety and I turn out the light
No one could love you, you see
Any more than your mommy and me
Rachel Elisabeth Marie
No one's more special to me
Than you
