about
Dedicated to my nephew JoWi whose smile I will never forget. Thank you for blowing my heart wide open. "Bright as The Moon" is a collection of just some of the sweet memories I have of you.
lyrics
My brother had a baby and his eyes shone as bright as the moon
In our hearts he lingers cause from this world he was taken too soon (too soon)
To a place where he gets chocolate pudding smeared across his smile
Our lives forever changed, cause we got to hold him for awhile
(For a while…)
Dancing in the morning to the tune of his sweet mama’s laugh
Tugging on our heartstrings, or on the tail of Ate Malia’s cat (Poor Bobo)
Reading books upside down, laughing, cuddling with his giraffes
Never getting into trouble, cause he’d blow us raspberries and clap
(We would laugh)
Oh JoWi Bear I miss you every second, every minute of our lives
I cannot wait to hug and kiss you when it is my turn up in the skies
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi, when I wake up in the morning I think of you
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi,, look at what the power of your love can do
(Can Do)
Lana is a sweetheart, she has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever known
Because she got to care for you, cheering as she watched you grow, (mmmhmmmm)
Malia’s so engaging she knew just how to make you laugh
Like we did when you’d scooch your booty, when you heard Lindts being unwrapped
(you scooched fast)
Oh JoWi Bear I miss you every second, every minute of our lives
I cannot wait to hug and kiss you when it is my turn up in the skies
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi, when I wake up in the morning I think of you
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi,, look at what the power of your love can do
Cause we:
Hug each other a little tighter, now we smile a little wider,
Thankful for the strength you gave to us.
You made our mornings a little brighter, made our hearts a little lighter,
Your little soul brought us so much love
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi,, when we wake up in the morning we think of you
Oh JoWi, Oh JoWi, look at what the power of your love can do
Oh my brother had a baby, and his smile was as bright as the moon…
