lyrics

She will be my work of art, I will handle her with love
As I shape her gently she will show me who she is
She will be my work of art, I will handle her with love
As I shape her gently she will show me who she is

I saw the morning sun burn away
Across the water of the ocean
I saw Geronimo sail away in a single sweeping motion
I heard the angels sing far away in the twilight of the evening
I saw a newborn in every eye and I could not help believing

On that day a new face met the world
And on that day right before my eyes I saw a new face on the world
New face on the world, new face on the world

I held the future in my hands and I was humbled by the power
All eternity's seed alive in a fraction of an hour
The seed of love and hope and faith in a million more tomorrows
The seed of faces I'll never know
But a part of me goes on forever and ever

On that day a new face met the world
And on that day right before my eyes I saw a new face on the world
New face on the world, new face on the world

She will be my work of art, I will handle her with love
As I shape her gently she will show me who she is
She will be my work of art, I will handle her with love
As I shape her gently she will show me who she is
New face met the world
And on that day right before my eyes
I saw a new face on the world
