A Love Song for our Daughter 

A few months ago I was getting pizza at the mall and the restaurant was giving away free music CDs in the lids of their large drinks. So I found myself with a CD of some teeny-bopper teenager named Jesse McCartney, whom I had never heard of. I decided this would be perfect to give my nieces who are teeny-boppers themselves

I was on my way to give it to them when I decided maybe I better listen to it first before giving an unknown CD to impressionable pre-teens. I never got past the first song – Beautiful Soul.

Although this was not my usual type of music, I listened to the lyrics and realized – this is my love song to our daughter JacJac!

So here it is:
Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
 
I know that you are so special
To you, I'll be always faithful
I want to be what you’ve always needed
And I hope you’ll see the heart in me

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and you’re beautiful…
So, you're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind -- give me the chance
I'll never make you cry c'mon let's try

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and you’re beautiful…
So, you're the one I want to chase
You're the one I want to hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

So, I admit, I am definitely not as deep as those of you who have claimed that Steven Curtis Chapman song for your daughter (which, BTW, brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it). But I’m glad we found a song for JacJac.
