(Verse 1)
Little fighter, born with might,
My sweet Drew, my guiding light.
Andrew Justice Manning, a name so true,
A legacy of love, shining through.
Named for an angel, gone too soon,
You bloomed in my life, beneath the moon.
Five months along, a secret untold,
Your tiny heartbeat, surprise kicks, a story bold.
(Chorus)
It's just you and me, against the world we face,
Your innocent smile, a saving grace.
You pulled me from darkness, showed me the way,
My Arkansas sunshine, brightening each day.
(Verse 2)
Kisses like sunshine, gentle and warm,
Ruger the dog, safe from the storm.
Best friends they are, a furry embrace,
Chasing each other all over the place.
Park days and bubbles, a happy sound,
"Chase!" you shout, feet hit the ground.
Airplanes soaring, high in the blue,
Policeman Drew with his K-9 officer too, "Wee woo, wee woo!"
(Chorus)
It's just you and me, against the world we face,
Your innocent smile, a saving grace.
You pulled me from darkness, showed me the way,
My Arkansas sunshine, brightening each day.
(Bridge)
"Jesus loves me," you sing with glee,
Dimples for all to see.
Curly mohawk, a wild little crown,
Big brown eyes, looking around.
Riley and Jay, and sister Fifi dear,
A family's love, always near.
Though challenges come, with energy bright,
You're a fighter, Drew, shining your light.
(Verse 3)
Fishing in summer, the sun on your face,
Splashing and laughing, all over the place.
The boat is your kingdom, the water your throne,
a curious mind,
A fireman, a doctor, or football star, the future you'll find.
You love the small babies, so gentle and kind,
And Papa's strong hands, a comfort you find.
(Chorus)
It's just you and me, against the world we face,
Your innocent smile, a saving grace.
You pulled me from darkness, showed me the way,
My Arkansas sunshine, brightening each day.
(Outro)
Winter's your season, the snow soft and deep,
Sledding with Ruger, secrets to keep.
My strong little man, so sweet and so true,
My beautiful Drew, I'll always love you.
