You can take all the tea in China

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

I heard the doctor say, "Who wants to bet how much she weighs?" And in realtime Ellie looked me in the eye and said, "good job mom, good job."

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see

John slipped his arms around me and I remembered how a few days ago I wanted (for a brief moment) to run away from all of this. I heard Luke tell me, "I wish every day was a family day mom."

Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor bent on chivalry

I saw my parents renewing their vows at their surprise 30th wedding anniversary party.

She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

I remembered our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. John surprised me by getting the keys to our new house almost 2 months before we actually closed on it and we had our first meal sitting on lawn chairs in our future living room and drinking champagne, talking about how one day we'd have a toddler walking about the house.

You can't stop us on the road to freedom
You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see
Men with insight, men in granite
Knights in armor intent on chivalry
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
She's an angel of the first degree
She's as sweet as tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee

The tears flooded my cheeks and covered the shoulder of John's shirt as Luke kissed my legs and Ellie danced to the musings of Van Morrison, she declared, "be happy!"

I am so happy, so blessed, and so loved.

You know she's alright
You know she's alright with me
She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)

You can take all the tea in china
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail it right around the seven oceans
