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 theres 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
|
