| Long ago, before we met
|
| I dreamed about you
|
| The peace you’d bring
|
| The songs we’d sing
|
| The way you’d make things new
|
| Then one day, you arrived
|
| I heard your angel cry
|
| Helpless, small, and perfect
|
| Welcome to your life
|
| And on that day, I made a vow
|
| Whispered and true
|
| No matter what, no matter how
|
| I made this promise to you
|
| I will cling, I will clutch
|
| I’ll hold onto you, I won’t turn away
|
| I won’t leave, I won’t go
|
| I will stay with you all our days
|
| Years of joy have passed since then
|
| With time I’ve seen you grow
|
| Watched you play, new each day
|
| I begged the time to slow
|
| And though I miss the little girl
|
| You’ve made me awful proud
|
| Funny how our lives change
|
| Cause you’re my hero now
|
| But things in life will rearrange
|
| Friends come and go
|
| Don’t ever doubt, don’t ever fear
|
| I’m always here and you know
|
| I will cling, I will clutch
|
| I’ll hold onto you, I won’t turn away
|
| I won’t leave, I won’t go
|
| I will stay with you all our days
|
| I will stay with you all our days |
