“What beautiful way to say what I’ve been feeling all of these years – My baby girl from 11 months old until today, at age 18 – has taken me over, and I hope this song will help her understand, maybe a little better, just how much of my heart and soul she is. Tears flowed as I listened.”

Under My Skin
Under My Skin
Words & Music by Regie Hamm & Steve Siler
If I saw myself in you
would it be a lie?
I think sometimes I catch a glimpse
when I look in your eyes
There is so much more to this
and us than just a name
More than a sketch
More than a frame, ‘cause
You stay under my skin
You burst in my heart like a thousand parades
Oh you dance in my mind
and rush through my soul like hope in my veins
DNA can have its say but nevertheless you remain
Under my skin
Tell me what blood really means
if love can run this deep
Family’s more than just a word
It’s what you choose to keep
I can’t imagine you not here
to make us who we are
More than a sketch
A great work of art, ‘cause
CHORUS
It’s so amazing how everything changed
from the moment we got the call
You’re under my roof
and under my wing
Oh but most of all, yeah most of all
CHORUS
You stay…

“We are in the process of adopting right now and I was just feeling that I couldn’t go on with it. And I turned on my car radio and this song was playing and it meant the world to me.”
