Lyrics

Verse 1

Ten years of laughter in our home, ten years of light Piggy tails and bedtime prayers and stars against the night You ran through halls with fearless joy, barefoot on the floor I never knew how much a heart could love someone so much

Chorus

Oh, Kaelin, my beautiful girl, ten years were not enough But heaven called you by your name, and heaven's arms were strong enough Though I still ache for one more day, one more laugh, one more touch I'll see you where there's no more tears, and what a day that will be

Verse 2

I still see you in morning light, in sunsets soft and gold In quiet rooms where memories are louder than I'm told And sometimes when the world is still and I close my eyes to pray I almost hear you laughing like you're not that far away

Bridge

No more needles, no more pain, no more fear at all Just streets of mercy, fields of grace beyond these broken walls And when my race on earth is done and my eyes at last can see I'll run into your open arms and you'll come running back to me

Chorus

Oh, Kaelin, my beautiful girl, ten years were not enough But heaven called you by your name, and heaven's arms were strong enough Though I still ache for one more day, one more laugh, one more touch I'll see you where there's no more tears, and what a day that will be

Chorus

Oh, Kaelin, my beautiful girl, ten years were not enough But heaven called you by your name, and heaven's arms were strong enough Though I still ache for one more day, one more laugh, one more touch I'll see you where there's no more tears, and what a day that will be

Outro

Ten years here, forever there, my daughter, my joy I'll see you soon

Behind the song

This song pours out a father's love and sorrow. It comes from a place of deep personal experience. Losing a child is an unimaginable grief. The lyrics speak of a love that transcends earthly goodbyes. The hope found in Christ is the only thing that can carry a heart through such pain. It reminds us that heaven is a real place where tears are wiped away and joy is restored. This hope anchors our souls when life feels shattered. Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep." This song is a prayer and a promise of that future reunion.
