Little Man (Zaverie's Song)
 

Lyrics & Music:
 Chuck Kerr & Ian McLeish
 

1.
I won’t forget that August night, so warm & calm & sweet -
When he joined us, touched our hearts, and made our lives complete;
All those months he lay inside - a conciousness concealed -
And then I held him in my arms, his mystery revealed.

Chorus 1.
Watch him smile, watch him grow -
Watch him spreading joy to everyone he knows;
It’s funny how our Zaverie can make a brighter day -
 And I’m grateful he chose us to share the way...

2.
There was no hurry in our lives, a child, someday, we'd greet;
We were young, our passion new, the world was at our feet -
But another’s need, a mother’s plea and soon we changed our mind -
A family should be complete - if only for a time.

Chorus 2.
Watch him dance - watch him race -
Painting pretty pictures, full of grace;
Plenty lies ahead for him, but together, come what may -
We’ll share the ups and downs along the way...

3.
And now, as I tuck him in, I know our choice was right,
I kiss the magic in my life and then turn out the light;
Our purpose is to teach him love & not to hold him down -
We’ll help him to explore the world & spread his joy around.

Chorus 3.
Watch him learn, watch him see -
This little man bouncing on my knee -
Just what is in store for him, you know I cannot say -
But we’ll share our love with him along the way...

(repeat chorus 1)
