Rachel's Song

The title of my blog comes from a song by Five for Fighting. I originally loved the song when I heard it while planning our wedding. To me it was the perfect Father-Daughter song for me and my dad. When I found out I was having a girl, I started listening to it every time I was in the car. I would sing it out loud hoping the little baby inside of me could hear me. I even listened to it as I drove myself to the hospital in a panic on that Sunday afternoon. That day seems so far away now. Listening to the song now always brings me to tears. It fits our situation more than I ever dreamed it would. From now on, this song will always be Rachel's song.

"I Just Love You"

by Five for Fighting

Lonely, yeah that's the word
I leave my heart when I leave her
The days go on forever and the nights do too

One evening out on the road
A half a world away from home
I thought she was sleeping
When the call came through

I said, Darling, it's late, is everything ok
Silence took over the room
Til she said

I... I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
And I just love you too

Lonely lets me be
For once she sets me free
I close my eyes and I dream of her

She's lost in my arms
Her head on my heart
And softly she whispers the words

I...I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
And I just love you too

I'll never stop being amazed
How my 4-year old girl knows exactly what to say

I, I just Love You
I Don't Know Why, I Just Do
When are you coming home
I'm coming home soon
Cause I just love you too
