lyrics

My Light
© Rico Pabón

verse 1
This is a letter for my daughter
I’m looking back and I guess that I should
start at the top
before you arrived, the way that you moved
in mami’s womb full of life, a star
waiting to come through and shine light in the dark and you could
tell that her belly was aglow from afar
and you were more than a spark
more like the Universe being carried inside the love of my life
you are my light
and when the day came
it was love at first sight
my life would never be the same, mesmerized
I put your little chest to mine
and held you tight until our hearts aligned falling in rhythm, it was something divine a flawless design
perfection defined
wish I could rewind
so I keep going back in my mind backwards in time

when I first saw you shine baby, you are my light
you are my gift
from heaven above
like kisses from the lips of the Goddess of love Oshun, Venus and Aphrodite
a day won’t pass by me without me thanking the Almighty
why me to be blessed with such beauty?
who am I to hold a diamond cut ruby?
can I be the one you trust absolutely?
absolutely
baby girl, truly
you are my light
You’re nothing less than sun rays born on a winter day
so always be that bright red feather proud on the wing of a blue jay
and don’t let anyone, anywhere dull your shine not even for a night
and always remember my words
never forget
that you are my light... verse 2
you’re perfect in my eyes
watching you grow has been an everlasting sunrise

the way you share your light with the world I’m in awe of all you are, my star, my little girl unique as black pearl
one of a kind child
empathetic and generous thoughtful and selfless
creative and confident
with dimples and a bright smile strong as the Nile, love
you are my light
illuminate the darkest of days
your soul is so vibrant it glows like Milky Way you rock your own style
you find your own way
but bless the whole world
with the warmth from your rays
a dancer and poet
it’s going by way too fast you’re growing
I can’t slow it down
I hear your little voice the way it used to sound so if you didn’t than you know it now
you are my light
rainbow treasure
you’re the pot of gold
ain’t no measure
what I wouldn’t do to hold
you when you could fit inside of my palms but even fully grown

you’ll always have a home in my arms, love you’re my hummingbird
your beak dipped in sweetness
easily giving loving words
fast wings built for the sky but even after you take flight remember
you are my light
Even in mami’s womb, you were full of life, a star like you waiting to come through
and just shine your light in the dark
so much more than a little spark
you were the Universe being carried inside the love of my life
you are my light
