From Birth ‘Til I Die (A Song for Aaliyah)

From the moment I first saw you, little fingers, little toes

A love like I had never known just bloomed and overflowed

You looked up with those bright eyes, stole my heart that day

And I made a vow to always stay, come what may

Aaliyah, daddy loves you more than words could ever show

Through every high, each tear you cry, wherever you may go

From your first breath ‘til my last sigh

I'll be right here, by your side

Loving you for all you are, my star, my pride

From birth ‘til I die

You’ve got a gift that shines so bright, a spark that lights the sky

Every laugh, each dream you chase just makes me feel so high

I see your strength, your heart, your grace—so much that you can be

And every step you take, you’ll always have me

Aaliyah, daddy loves you more than words could ever show

Through every high, each tear you cry, wherever you may go

From your first breath ‘til my last sigh

I'll be right here, by your side

Loving you for all you are, my star, my pride

From birth ‘til I die

And if the world ever makes you doubt

Just close your eyes and hear me shout

You are enough, you're strong, you're wise

You’re a masterpiece in my eyes

Aaliyah, daddy loves you more than words could ever show

Through every storm, through every song, wherever life may flow

From your first breath ‘til my last sigh

I'll be your rock, your wings to fly

Loving you for all you are, my angel, my light

From birth ‘til I die
