For Kaelyn

I've been coming up with playlists for the iPod, just in case music seems to be a good distraction during labor. In the process, I've made up a couple of lullaby playlists for Kaelyn and came across this song. I love it. (Good thing lullabies are meant to be sung softly--it helps to hide my lack of vocal talent, which becomes obvious when I really belt it out, hehe)

Never Alone-Sara Evans w/ Jim Brickman on piano
(Victoria Shaw/Sarah Buxton/Gary Burr)

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you
When it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
And know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
As every year passes
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Chorus:
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Well I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Repeat Chorus
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you
When it's time to go home
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Repeat Chorus
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
