I Have You

I first heard the song "I Have You" while I was on mat leave. It's by Canadian songwriter Connie Kaldor and just listening to the lyrics would make me weep. I'm able to listen to it without crying now, but I still think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever. And it captures how I feel about my little baby girl and my decision to stay home with her. Some days are tougher than others, but overall, I love my new role...even if I am wearing five year old running shoes and jeans with holes in the knees.

Here are the lyrics.

I Have You
by Connie Kaldor

Some have furs and fancy cars
But I have you, I have you
Some have silk and caviar
But I have you, I have you
Some have emeralds set in gold
But they can't sit and rock and hold you
Like I do, like I do, like I do

Some have lace and diamonds rings
But I have you, I have you
They always have the latest things
But I have you, I have you
Some are always dressed in style
But they will never catch your smile
Like I do, like I do, like I do

Some have homes on the finest streets
But I have you, I have you
The finest leather on their feet
But I have you, I have you
Some have wine and a castle keep
But they can't watch you drift asleep
Like I do, like I do, like I do
