              C            F       G 
This is for Rosanna, sweet girl of mine,
               C        F          G   
A song for the baby who changed my life,
              C          F       G7 
I'll never forget when I saw you first,
  Am              Em/G        F 
I thought that my heart would burst,
         G7          C 
With the love that I have.
 
 
   G           C           F      G 
As I watch you sleeping in here tonight,
                C            F        G 
And I hear your breathing so soft and light,
           C             F             G7 
I cannot believe all the things that I feel,
       Am       Em/G    F 
When I hold you next to me,
         G7          C     F  C
It's the love that I have.
 
 
          F           C – G 
Oh how my heart it is shining,
C         F           C – G 
Oh how my heart it is shining, 
C           F        C – G   Am  –  Em/G – F 
Oh how this heart is shining through,
         G7          C 
With the love that I have.
 
 
    G          C            F       G 
And as you are growing from baby to child,
            C                F       G 
I share the wonders that are in your eyes,
          C            F       G7 
And I am amazed at the way you change,
      Am      Em/G    F 
All according to  the plan,
        G7          C 
And the love that I have.
    G            C              F   G 
And when you are older you will go away,
             C           F          G 
You'll see injustice and you'll see pain,
             C            F      G7 
But never forget that I'm always there,
       Am     Em/G     F 
Like a shadow by  your side,
         G7          C 
With the love that I have.
 
 
Am   Em   F/C       Dm        C        G 
Oh__ my__ love, you have your mother's eyes,
           Am   Em     F/C        Dm        C        G
And when I see_ you___ laugh, you have your mother's smile,
            F              G 
And you are mine all of my life,
        F               G 
You are mine, all of my love,
        F                 G 
You are mine, blood of my blood,
        Am – F – G – C   F – C – F  – C
You are mine.

Oh how my heart it is shining through,
         G           C 
With the love that I have.
