100 More Years

My friend, Emily, who I got to visit last week in Virginia, just had a sweet little baby girl named Lily. She posted just the other day about the transition from pregnancy to parenting and how when that baby arrives, he/she just captures your heart. It’s so true. I am blessed to be a mommy and I couldn’t imagine life with out my little girls!

She posted this song that I fell in LOVE with the moment I heard it and I just had to post it to share with you! And, to have here on my blog for memory sake. It’s a BEAUTIFUL song!

 

Francesca Battistelli's "Hundred More Years"

A diamond ring and twelve red roses
Everything she ever wanted
All those dreams and now they're finally here
She's so young and he's so perfect
They waited for love and it was worth it
She wants to feel like this for a hundred years

All this life still yet to live and they can hardly wait
They can laugh
They can cry
The future looks so beautiful and bright
They can dance under the moonlight
'Cause God is smilin' down on them tonight
And she wants to stay right here
Make it last for a hundred more years

She's got blue eyes just like her mother
Three years old, he's crazy for her
He wants to freeze this day before it disappears
She's spinnin' like a little princess
Makin' sure he's gonna notice
He could watch her twirl for a hundred years

She'll grow up and she'll leave home but until that day
They can laugh
They can cry
The future looks so beautiful and bright
They can dance under the moonlight
'Cause God is smilin' down on them tonight
And he wants to stay right here
Make it last for a hundred more years

And its only time
But it flies right by
And today is sweeter than we know

And so they dance under the moonlight
While God is smilin' down on them tonight
And they want to stay right here
For a hundred more years

The verse about the little blue eyed girl brings tears to my eyes. All I can think of is my sweet Cori Belle with those big blue eyes. She spins all the time like a little princess and she is always making sure her daddy is watching her. Oh, how I love it. Oh, how I love her and Finley too. My life is one that is truly blessed. Not perfect. Just blessed in every way possible. And, I hope it lasts for a 100 more years!
