Meredith

You came into the world with those two eyes of shining blue

And I knew right then my world was set for spinning around you

Oh my girl, my girl

Remember by the swing set when you thought you lost your tooth

And you came running in to show us but you couldn't find the proof

Oh my girl, my girl

Meredith

And then as you grew older how I learned to lean on you

For every time my crying shoulder it left you with a bruise

Oh my girl, my girl

For all the sleepless nights and all the running round the room

For every tear stained pillow fight and every time I left too soon

Oh my girl, my girl

Meredith

Who’s gonna bother you now?

Oh little one I hate to leave you in this world alone

With all this grief and sorrow in your heart and memories of your home

Oh my girl, my girl

And so I promise that I will hold on until the last

I’ll be the light upon your shoulder at least until the worst has passed

Oh my girl, my girl

Meredith

I’m gonna bother you now

And when my days are done just know your mother still loves you

And I’ll be loving you from all around and just so proud of you
