I look up when I dance - Vicky-aki (Aug 13,2005)

I look up when I dance,so the tears won't fall
Remembering that happy day, When she was born
But I knew then - one day she'd go
She totally told me that she loved him

I look up when I dance-Counting the stars
With tearful eyes-I recall all the summers.
Toys and dolls long stored away
She totally told me that she loved him.


Happiness my sweet, is not in the clouds
Happiness my dear, is yours my child.


I look up when I dance,so the tears won't fall
For my heart's filled with joy and sorrow.
My baby's grown - now she's wed!
She totally told me that she loved him.

----(Whistling (spoken))---
My baby girl, you've brought us so much joy, daughter
And today, as you join with him in eternal love -
I remember a toddler, her thumb,
and a pink silky-blanket.


Remembering those moments, her first laugh
She totally told me that she loved him
Love is said to be born from the twinkling stars
Love is said to be born from the womb of the moon

I look up when I dance,so the tears won't fall
For my heart's filled with joy and sorrow
My baby's grown - now she's wed
She totally told me that she loved him
She totally told me that she loved him

---(Whistling (spoken))
... 'Love you baby!
