Dear Juliana

Dear Juliana, welcome to this big world
I’m so glad the Lord made you our baby girl
You’re such a pretty thing, and your smile warms my heart
Just don’t grow up too fast, ‘cause you fit
Perfect in my arms

Red hair, blue eyes, sweet as can be
Precious moments, forever I will be by your side
I’m looking forward to this ride, dear Juliana

My Juliana, how are you two years old?
Time will fly much faster now, so I’ve been told
You love the raindrops, and you know your ABC’s,
But your favorite one of all is “Jesus Loves Me”

Kitchen dances in your mama’s shoes
Innocent means nothing more than you; look at you go
Your daddy loves you so, dear Juliana

And oh, how you laugh so sweet,
Like the rhythm of a happy fiddle tune
And oh, the patter of your feet
Is a melody that breaks my heart in two

Sweet Juliana, now we’re standing face to face,
It’s so beautiful to watch you grow in grace
Always remember, I’ll hold you in my heart
No matter where you are, you’ll still fit
Perfect in my arms
