From the recording Ella Marie
Lyrics
Did you see her
On the hospital screen
Her little fingers and toes
Her heart was beating
Then the nurse saw things and she pointed to rings
She said she thinks she knows what it means
She wrote down
On the ultrasound
Think pink…but keep keep your receipts
Then mama went and gave you a name
Ever since then she became
A beautiful human being
Ella Marie…Ella Marie…Ella Marie…Ella Marie
Which came first
Her head or her feet
You know it never ever mattered to me
I was kneeling down when I heard the sound
And I had found
Myself mesmerized
I heard her cries
And I was overwhelmed
Then mama went and gave you a name
Ever since then she became
A beautiful human being
Ella Marie….Ella Marie…Ella Marie…Ella Marie
whoo hoo hooo whooo
I was so naïve
I could not believe
How beautiful she could be
And now I live to breathe
La la la la la la Ella la la la la La la la la la la laaaaa la
You were swimming round in the middle
When you were little
You’re 1 in a million
And you keep me living
I’m guilty fulfilled with what the God’s have given us
It’s a miracle of life
A miracle of life
And now I smile
When I look in your eyes
Familiar images and surprise
When she held my hand
I finally understand
I felt like I’m the the king
King of the land
