She wakes up before the dawn, and she puts her slippers on, Then she quietly attends to the job that never ends. Getting ready for the day in her own special way, She makes my life worthwhile every time I see her smile. Oh, Jesi, I love you, I love you more than you know. There’s nothing in this world that I would rather do, Than to stay and watch you grow. Then she goes and joins her friends in a world of let’s pretend In a time grownups call youth where make-believe is truth. Coming back inside to eat, in her stocking feet, Cause she cannot find her shoes; what a precious time to lose. Oh, Jesi, I love you, I love you more than you know. There’s nothing in this world that I would rather do, Than to stay and watch you grow. Oh, Jesi, I love you, I love you more than you know. There’s nothing in this world that I would rather do, Than to stay and watch you grow. Once again the sun goes down and she slips into her gown, Then she climbs into her bed, where “nicest things” are said. Then she gently passes in, to the place where dreams begin, And I watch her as she lays, and in my heart I say: Oh, Jesi, I love you, I love you more than you know. There’s nothing in this world that I would rather do, Than to stay and watch you grow.
