Baby face, don't grow so fast
Make a special wish that will always last
Rub this magic lantern
It will make your dreams come true for you
Ride the rainbow to the other side
Catch a falling star and then take a ride
To the river that sings and the sunshine that
Brings blessings to you, it's all true
Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Keira
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Keira
See the roses raining on the love parade
If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
Theres a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons, for you
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade
Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Keira
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Keira
See the roses running through the love parade
Your dreams are made inside the love parade...
Its a holiday inside the love parade...
On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves
Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby
Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips
Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed
Never forget what I said...
Hang on youre already there!
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade
To my feisty, spunky, sweeter-than-light goddaughter Kirsten Soleil Marasigan, a.k.a. Keira....
As you turn a year old, I can only watch in amazement as you grow wiser and more adorable with each passing day. With a smile in my heart, I wish you candy-bright todays and sugar-sunny tomorrows. It's truly one of my joys to see you everyday and be a witness to your wonderful wonder years!
Happy happy happy 1st birthday!
To your parents, my dearest friends Peachy and Allan, thank you for sharing precious Keira moments with this smitten ninang. Be blessed always!
