Sophia, Sweet Sophia

[Verse 1] We painted the walls for you Tiny clothes in the drawer Soft little hopes we folded Then we could do no more We never heard your first cry Never saw your sleepy eyes But your name still fills the air Like a softly spoken prayer [Pre-Chorus] And we know you are with Him Safe in His arms of light Still our hearts reach for you In the middle of the night [Chorus] Sophia, sweet Sophia We miss you more each day Sophia, sweet Sophia The Lord has called you home We dreamed of days beside you With love we longed to share Now Heaven holds you gently Safe in the Father's care [Verse 2] I would have rocked you by the window Shown you rain upon the glass Taught you how to clap your hands And laugh when your sisters ran past I saved your tiny pink ribbon Your father said your name We say it slow like a holy prayer To ease the ache and pain [Pre-Chorus] And we know you are with Him Held beyond all our tears Still we ache for the moments We thought we'd have through the years [Chorus] Sophia, sweet Sophia We miss you more each day Sophia, sweet Sophia The Lord has called you home We dreamed of days beside you With love we longed to share Now Heaven holds you gently Safe in the Father's care [Bridge] One day we'll see your face One day we'll hold you tight We’ll tell you all the stories As we look into His light Till then we keep your place In the quiet of our hearts Little one, our baby girl We loved you from the start [Final Chorus] Sophia, sweet Sophia Though tears may fill our eyes You're resting in God's presence Where love will never die Sophia, sweet Sophia We'll meet again someday Until that joyful morning Our hope will light the way God's hope will light the way [Outro]
