One Perfect Day

Bookending the “Late December” CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.

One Perfect Day

Go to sleep my blue-eyed girl
The sun is on its way
When I see your morning eyes
Every day is Christmas day.
That winter sky will soon be
Shining bright.
When you drift off into dreaming
Every night is silent night, holy night.

Come running down the stairs
Check the cup and plate
You’ve been counting down the days
To this the sacred date
That winter sky is shining
On your face
Reflecting in your eyes
No better time, no better place.

Each year one step closer
To a better way.
One year wiser, one year older
One holy night, one perfect day.

After all the gifts are open
All the paper on the ground
Snuggle underneath your covers
The Christmas sun has long gone down
That winter sky will soon be
Shining bright
When you drift off into dreaming
Every night is silent night, holy night

a special place indeed.... i have raised two sons and a daughter,,, i still remember the day i brought my first son home for the first time,,, was a crying for joy moment,, our children are the greatest of all gifts,, and being a good parent and a good spouse are the two hardest jobs/tasks in the universe,,, (but i admit to being a little weird)your song is a beautiful testament well done,,, Richard
