| My child, I’ve hoped and I’ve prayed for this very day
|
| Since you were just a little one
|
| And oh how my heart swells with pride
|
| As I watch the man that you’ve become
|
| But this life offers no guarantees
|
| And though my time on this earth had to end
|
| I’m sure that your heart would know peace
|
| If you could just see where I am
|
| From here, the race has been run and love’s already won
|
| I see clearly the end and the start
|
| From here, I’m cheering you on
|
| So live out each breath with all that you’ve got
|
| And know until I hold you close
|
| I’ll be holding you dear in my heart
|
| From here
|
| I’ve seen your tears as you’ve waited alone
|
| Longing for that special one
|
| And now all the waiting is done
|
| As you gaze into her eyes
|
| Seeing the reflection of love
|
| Life’s road may seem rough up ahead
|
| And for now you see only in part
|
| So hold onto each other and know
|
| That there is an end to the dark
|
| Heaven is calling and my heart keeps longing
|
| Looking so forward to the day
|
| When we’ll be together forever in eternity
|
| Just you wait and see |
