[Verse 1 – intimate, warm tone | soft chest voice, breathy delivery]
[soft] I held you once, so small, so new
Wrapped in blankets, I got to know you
The world was big, and you gave it light
Like the brightest star in the darkest night
Your tiny hands reached out to me
And suddenly, I could see
that it was you Rylee Bri--
And that this was meant to be--
[Pre-Chorus – emotional lift | brighter tone, slight dynamic rise]
[warm lift] You made me brave, you made me kind
You healed the parts I left behind
I gave you life, but you gave it too—
A world reborn when I met you [hold, slight falsetto overtone]
[Chorus – soaring, heartfelt | power belt, controlled vibrato] 🎶
[full voice]You are the prayer I didn’t speak
The missing piece I didn’t seek
You are my light, my sacred sound
The heartbeat when I’m breaking down [gentle catch on "breaking"]
You are my breath, my steady flame
The echo that will speak my name
You gave me love I’d never known—
[soften] I’m here for you, [tender, slow] you’re not alone 🎶
[Verse 2 – nostalgic, gentle | light chest voice, breathy tone]
“I love you more,” you used to say
And somehow love grew more each day
I watched you grow, I let you roam
But you have always been my home [slight vibrato]
[Pre-Chorus – rising emotion | warm chest-to-head mix]
When I am weak, you lend me grace
You hold the light upon my face
You are a godsend made to be—
My little girl, who rescued me [tearful, aching tone]
[Chorus – deeper emotion | breathier delivery, rounder tone] 🎶
You are the prayer I didn’t speak
The lullaby I still repeat
You spin in circles, laughing wild
Barefoot grace, my fearless child
You are the gift I’ll always keep
A love that runs forever deep
You gave me more than words could say—
You light my life in every way 🎶 [crescendo, gentle fall at end]
[Bridge – tender start → build | airy to resolved tone]
And when you're grown, and I am gray
You’ll still be mine in every way
For love like this does not let go—
It only deepens as we grow
Remember this—your roots run deep
I’ll be the wind beneath your feet [soft belt, long sustain]
[Final Chorus – soaring | full voice, vibrato on long notes] 🎶
You are the prayer I could speak
The song I’ll sing when I’m asleep
You are the joy, the pain, the grace
The miracle I can’t replace
You are the verse God wrote in me
The bloom upon my family tree
You gave my soul its brightest wings—
My daughter… you are everything 🎶 [sustain, emotional vibrato, soft decay]
[Outro – lullaby fade | whispery tone, falsetto]
So take the world. Unfold your wings
I’ll be the wind beneath those things
And every step you rise above…
You’ll carry me—and all my love
🎤 My daughter… you are everything...
🎤 Mmm... You gave my heart its wings...!
