[Lyric] Three Pounds (Mark D. Preston)

[Verse 1]
She was three pounds and unwanted
The night she was born
All our prayers were answered
When they let us take her home
Now she's our little girl
Oh God, what a world

[Verse 2]
She came in to this world
Fighting for her life
Her first day of school
She was the only one who didn't cry
In a new dress and curls
Oh my, "Spin a whirl"

[Chorus]
Ain't it amazing what three pounds can grow into?
I used to hold her in one hand
Now there's nothing she can't do
Auburn hair, and green eyes that smile as bright as the moon
And a heart that knows no bounds
All from just three pounds
[Verse 3]
Her birth mom was addicted
Didn't care to ever know
What a precious little flower
She was letting go
And how each chapter would unfurl
Oh God, what a world

[Verse 4]
She graduated with Honors
Then married a boy
And now she's giving birth
To a tiny bundle of joy
My baby girl's got a girl
Oh my, it's been a world

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Oh, what a world we live in
When such beauty can be given away
Now I believe in fairytales
'Cause the Lord brought her our way

[Chorus]
Ain't it amazing what three pounds can grow into?
I used to hold her in one hand
Now there's nothing she can't do
Auburn hair, and green eyes that smile as bright as the moon
And a heart that knows no bounds
All from just three pounds
[Outro]
She was three pounds and unwanted
The night she was born
