Blow out the Candles

You flew in on a plane from Korea,
 To Anchorage, to me
 You wore pink and blue elephants,
 And then you reached out your hands
 You left the airport in my arms,
 Snow in the air
 That's the day, that is the way I brought you home
 I always knew where I came from,
 I never had any doubts
 We celebrated my coming day,
 With little presents and songs
 You'd say "happy adoption Sadie,
 Blow out the candles for another year"
 Do do do do do
 Remember us out on the water
 In a boat when the wind came up so fast and fierce
 I looked at you my little daughter
 Your resolve shone in your eyes, hands on the oars
 And even though you were so small we rowed
 We pulled with all our might right back to shore
 That's the day that is the way you make me proud
 You told me once that I had a twin,
 She didn't live very long
 We were together in the orphanage,
 She never had a home
 You said "Sadie, she's gone now sweetheart,
 Blow out the candles for another year"
 Do do do
 All the things you used to say that made me smile
 And that brightened up my day
 I think of all your little ways now that you're grown
 And moved away I think of you
 And no matter where you are
 No matter how near or how far you are
 Every day this is the way that I love you
 I think of the Alaskan sky in winter, I think of the northern lights
 My arm around you, love wrapping us like a blanket in the night
 I think of you daughter, I think of gratitude.
 I think of the Alaskan sky in winter, I think if you.
 I think of the Alaskan sky in winter, I think of the northern lights
 Your arm around me, love wrapping us like a blanket in the night
 I think of you mother, I think of gratitude.
 I think of the Alaskan sky in winter, I think if you.
 I think of you
 Oooh
 I think of you
