Inspiration:

I met a special little guy this Sunday just gone. He has Cerebral Palsy & Epilepsy and is only 17 months old. He is always giggling and smiling and lighting up whatever room he is in, he's adorable and he gave me the inspiration to write this song. I don't know what it's like to be a parent, obviously, maybe I will find out later in my life but for now I can appreciate how special new life actually is!

Lyrics:

You were so small you could fit in your mother's hands,
And the tears that they cried when they first saw you on the scan,
How many lives do you think you'll change,
How many lives just won't be the same,
I don't know because only a parent would understand.

Right now I don't know how it feels to hold my own,
And I don't know the stress and the struggles 'cos I'm still young,
But I've seen all the smiles when they first find out,
That they'll give life to something their love won't doubt,
The single most beautiful thing they've ever seen.

No no no,
They won't let you go,
The single most beautiful thing they've ever seen.

Beautiful smile,
Miniature hands,
We'll watch as the future,
Unravels your plans,
Cos nobody knows,
What tomorrow will bring,
The present's a queen,
And the past's a king.

As you grow up there'll be days your mother cries,
'Cos your youth's disappearing each day which passes by,
But as you get older she'll understand,
You still love her though you won't hold her hand,
Still the single most beautiful thing she's ever seen.

But now little darling, you're young and oh so pure,
With a smile that could light up a room, of that I'm sure,
You're a fighter who won't know what strength is yet,
A delighter whom no-one could soon forget,
The single most beautiful thing your family has seen.

No no no,
They won't let you go,
The single most beautiful thing they've ever seen.

Beautiful smile,
Miniature hands,
We'll watch as the future,
Unravels your plans,
Cos nobody knows,
What tomorrow will bring,
The present's a queen,
And the past's a king.

Ohhh, you'll move out someday,
And they'll call you asking if you will stay,
But don't you forget how they nurtured that seed,
That seed which'll grow up into a tree.

Beautiful smile,
Miniature hands,
We'll watch as the future,
Unravels your plans,
Cos all that we know,
Is that life can bring,
The most beautiful things,
That the world has seen.

The most beautiful things,
That the world has seen.
