With one exhausted breath, I wondered as my body began to change/ With one exhausted breath, I smiled as I learned I had a new life to arrange

With one exhausted breath, my love sighed as the cravings began to come/ With one exhausted breath, we felt you kick your way into our little home

With one exhausted breath, I tried to brave the hot summer heat/ With one exhausted breath, I waited and waited in the doctor's office to wonder how much longer I had until I heard your precious heartbeat

With one exhausted breath, I wondered if it was possible for anymore gifts to come in/ With one exhausted breath, and began to wonder when this thing called labor would begin

With one exhausted breath, I laid back in my hospital bed as my love gently stroke my head/ With one exhausted breath, "Just one more push," the nurse said

With one exhausted breath, I felt the saddest joy as the nurse brought you over to my arms/ With one exhausted breath, I held you tighter, my baby, safe from all harm

With one exhausted breath, I could no longer control my sobs as I listened to, "Jesus Loves Me"/ With one exhausted breath, I realized this would be a long journey

With one exhausted breath, we all left without a sound/ With one exhausted breath, my heart dropped as I saw them drop your little casket in the ground

With one exhausted breath, I write these words now/ With one exhausted breath, I'll make it through this journey by God's grace somehow
