They'll See One; We'll See Two

A breath of relief then we hear the cry

And tears of joy trails down our eyes

You’re gently laid upon my breast

My heart jumps with joy inside my chest

I look down at your perfect face

Your little fingers in mine laced

You look around in curious wonder

A big new world lies yonder

We’ll think about all the things you’ll do

While you lay here and sigh and coo

And we’ll think about what it’d be like

If our first could be here with us tonight

One day we’ll tell you about the other

One day you’ll know you’re a little brother

But for now, we are going to shower our love

Knowing that she’s watching from above

You’ll live and laugh and love and play

It'll just be you, but we’ll see two anyway

We love the little soul we got

And the one we lost won’t be forgot

When you take your little naps

She’ll be there, filling the gap

Let her spirit watch you tonight

As you drift calmly into the night

You’re life will fill ours with joy

With every bottle, diaper, and toy

And as they see our growing love for you

They will see one while we see two
