For five months and eight days my wife and I had waited |
|
Gettin' ready for our baby girl |
|
But when he called the doctor said I need to see you |
|
And could you come in soon |
|
Then something died inside of me to sit with him and hear |
|
The tests that said our baby may not live to be a year |
|
Then turnin' to my wife and he said "whata you wanna do?" |
|
And she said... |
|
I wanna give her the world |
|
I wanna hold her hand |
|
I wanna be her mom for as long as I can |
|
And I wanna live every moment until that day comes |
|
I wanna show her what it means to be loved |
|
So we spent each day, watchin' every minute |
|
And prayin' for our baby girl |
|
And I will not forget the way I felt that moment |
|
When she came into this world |
|
But they took her from the room just |
|
as soon as she was born |
|
And watchin' through a window I could see her holdin' on |
|
When a voice inside me said... |
|
I wanna give her the world |
|
I wanna be her dad |
|
I wanna hold her close for as long as I can |
|
And I wanna live every moment until that day comes |
|
I wanna show her what it means to be loved |
|
I said everyday |
|
we've got to bring her home |
|
she's been out to prove the doctors wrong |
|
Oh and you should see her now |
|
she's as pretty as her mom |
|
And there's a boy at the front door |
|
waiting just to take her to her high |
|
school prom... |
|
And he wants to give her the world |
|
Wants to hold her hand |
|
And someday she may get a wedding band |
|
But she's gunna live every moment until that day comes |
|
And we're gunna show her what it means to be loved |
|
Oh yeah (what it means to be loved) |
|
Show her what it means to be loved |
|
What it means to be loved |
