Imari’s Heart [Verse 1] I remember the day you came into my life, You and your mother came to hear me sing that night. Then day after day, you kept coming around, Sitting quietly beside me when no one else was found. You never needed words to let me know you cared, Sometimes just your presence said enough by being there. And little did I know, from those moments at the start, You were making your own place inside my heart. [Pre-Chorus] Then your mama sent a video one day, You were dancing through Walmart, just being you that way. And when she looked down at the phone held in your hand, There I was singing karaoke in the background again. [Chorus] Oh, Imari, with your heart so full of love, There’s a quiet kind of strength that you were blessed with from above. You walk into a room and light it with your smile, And somehow make the hardest days feel easier for a while. May you never have to change the person that you are, May God grant the dreams you carry deep inside your heart. And wherever this life takes you, wherever you may be, Never doubt, Imari, what your friendship means to me. [Verse 2] Every day feels brighter when I hear from you, Sometimes all it takes are just a simple word or two. When you say, “I love you,” there’s no pretending there, It’s innocent and honest, coming straight from somewhere rare. That little phrase can carry me throughout the longest day, Because I know the love behind it means exactly what you say. There’s something pure and real in everything you do, And I hope you always know how much that means to me from you. [Chorus] Oh, Imari, with your heart so full of love, There’s a quiet kind of strength that you were blessed with from above. You walk into a room and light it with your smile, And somehow make the hardest days feel easier for a while. May you never have to change the person that you are, May God grant the dreams you carry deep inside your heart. And wherever this life takes you, wherever you may be, Never doubt, Imari, what your friendship means to me. [Bridge] We may not talk for hours, We may not talk each day, But friendship isn’t measured By how many words we say. Some people touch your lifetime Simply by being true, And one small moment of kindness Can carry a lifetime through. You became one of my best friends In your own quiet way, And the love you’ve given freely Is something I’ll never throw away. [Final Chorus] Oh, Imari, keep that heart so full of love, Keep that quiet kind of strength you carry from above. Keep walking in the room and lighting it with your smile, Because this world needs hearts like yours to make it all worthwhile. May you never want for anything this life can bring, May God watch over every dream and every little thing. And on your birthday, I just hope these words help you to see, How much your love, your heart, your friendship mean to me. [Outro] So thank you, Imari, For simply being you. For every smile, every moment, And every “I love you.” This song is just a little way To say what words can’t always do— Happy birthday, Imari. And may life always be good to you.
