We had a house with a wide front door Screen slammin’ on a hardwood floor Two little boys and our baby girl That was our whole wide world We prayed for more but Heaven knew Some roads ain’t meant for me and you So God just smiled and sent our way A blessing we still thank Him for today She’d come each summer, shy and sweet Little sandals on tiny feet Danielle with those searching eyes Holdin’ dreams she couldn’t hide She wanted love, she needed time A gentle word, a steady line And we had love we couldn’t spend So we wrapped her up again and again Ohhhh Danielle… you filled our hoooome With laughter we still carry on Every smile, every tear Made us feel the reason we were here God knew what we were missin’ then Sent an angel we could call our own We didn’t have more babies born— But we had more love than we could hooooold Her mama and daddy understood That bond was somethin’ pure and good Though missin’ her when she was gone They let that summer love roll on We watched her grow from child to bride Saw a new light in her eyes When Carlos took her gentle hand We knew she’d found her promised land He loved her strong, he loved her right Held her close through every night Won her daddy’s guarded heart Right from the very start When her father passed away Carlos never walked away He loved her more when she felt weak That’s the kind of love we all still seek Ohhhh Danielle… you found your waaaay To arms that’ll never let you stray Through every loss, through every fear Love stood tall and stayed right here God keeps writin’ stories true Of grace in all we go through We didn’t have more babies born— But we had more love than we could hooooold Then Steven came, a brand-new dawn A reason to keep marchin’ on And little Sara, wild and free A pistol full of energy Teenage years and ups and downs Tears and laughter all around Through every mile, through every test They’ve been the ones that make us blessed Ohhhh Danielle… can’t you seeeee What you’ve always meant to me From summer days to wedding bells To children of your own with stories we still tell We thank the Lord for every year For keepin’ all of you so near Our lives roll on, through joy and strife Still grateful for this gift of life We didn’t have more babies born— But we had more love… than we could hooooooold Yeah, we are blessed… So blessed… More love than we could hold.**
