I made myself a promise
The moment you walked through my door
I'd help make your life a better one
Than the life you lived before
You were sat there on the settee
Big brown eyes filled with fear
A little sad and wounded soldier
Who never shed a single tear
Who just said 'don't remember'
To everything we asked
And I knew right then, my heart had found
It's biggest ever task
So I swore I'd show you happiness
Lots of love and tons of laughter
And make sure you had a childhood
With a 'happy ever after'
I'd read to you, play games with you
Share roller-coaster rides
Listen carefully when you whispered
And hug you tightly if you cried
I'd fill your life with sunshine
In the hope there'd come a day
You'd wear your smile like a big badge
When you went out to play
And now you do and I'm so proud
Each time I see you smile
Cos knowing YOU, my lovely Luke
Has made MY life worthwhile
