Second Daughter, Here to Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks walk into your life And somehow never walk away They start as just a friendly face Then bless you more each passing day Through the laughter and the long, hard nights The Lord sends angels in disguise And we found one of ours back then With kindness shining in her eyes [Chorus] Family ain't always blood, sometimes it's grace A faithful heart, a steady, loving face Thank God above for the gift He sent our way A second daughter, here to stay [Verse 2] She grew up right beside our Seth Two kids just running through the years Then somewhere down that country road She wiped away our daughter's tears She held our hands through treatment days Through weddings, waves on Mexico shores Summers on the boat, the campfire glow She kept on knocking at our door [Chorus] Family ain't always blood, sometimes it's grace A faithful heart, a steady, loving face Thank God above for the gift He sent our way A second daughter, here to stay [Bridge] Oh Aimee, you're a song the good Lord wrote A quiet hymn of love and hope Devoted, faithful, kind and true There ain't no thanking God enough for you [Verse 3] Now there's Boyd and little Murphee too A life so beautifully your own But every time you come back through You remind us we're never alone Shane and I, Alaina too Carry pieces of your heart inside Aimee, you're forever ours And in this love, we still abide [Chorus] Family ain't always blood, sometimes it's grace A faithful heart, a steady, loving face Thank God above for the gift He sent our way A second daughter, here to stay [Outro] Aimee, oh sweet Aimee You're family, always
