Beautiful One

by Anneke van Giersbergen

Beautiful One
Your hair shines in the sun
I wish I'd never left

The wind intwines our hair
Our words get swept through the air
I wish I never left

Your face shines in my eyes
Our last look before our goodbye
I wish I never left

Beautiful One
You shine like the sun
I wish I never left
Before I have said
You are the one
You are the one

Your sun will come and go
But its beauty will keep its glow
I wish your rays would shine over me
Keep filling me with your beauty
I wish I never left
I wish I never left

I sing this song to Preston every morning on our way to Kym's. Sometimes it sounds like he is trying to sing it too. Anneke is our favorite female singer of all time and I just love this song. And knowing that she wrote this song about her son makes it even more special. For now, you can hear the song here: http://www.aguadeannique.com/music
