My Kids (based on Elvie Shane's My Boy) Cover by Andrea Hamilton

My sister-in-law has 3 kids: two bonus kiddos and a little one. They met on Valentine's day, and every year they celebrate it. This year, she wanted to make a slide show for them (one boy and one girl), and I made this version of Elvie Shane's song to fit their story even better. Hope you like it - thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
He ain't got my smile, that don't bother me a bit
He's got somebody else's eyes I'm seeing myself in
I'm holding on to every moment, God knows I've missed a few
The day we met I knew I had some catching up to do

He ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if he did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for his first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, he's my son and that's my choice
He ain't my blood but he's my, he's my boy

It hit me like a train, the first time she called me mom
In a 4 stick figure crayon picture with all of us standing tall
Her daddy said, "I understand if it's too soon for this"
I didn't let him finish,
I took it to the kitchen and I stuck it on the fridge, yeah

She ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if she did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for her first steps
But I ain't missed a moment yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, she's my baby my whole world
she ain't my blood but she's my, she's my girl

they’re Saturday morning cartoons
they’re Hey, can I sleep in your room?
they’re bigger than the plans I had they’re showing me a better path


they ain't my blood, ain't got my name
But if they did, I'd feel the same
I wasn't there for their first steps
But I ain't missed a ball game yet
And that ain't ever gonna change
I could never walk away
Yeah, they’re my kids and that's my choice
they ain't my blood but they’re my
they’re my world
