My Baby Girl

Early in the morning I wake to see you lying next to me
I just wanna hold you til the sun sets tonight
I try to protect you from everything I’ve endured
You stare at me with your big brown eyes
All of a sudden, life feels fine

While I’m playing with you, 
Seeing you take your first steps
Your love shines through the darkness
You stumble and you fall, but you get back up again
It’s nice to see you try again
You’re my baby girl

You’ve gotten bigger, you try to act brave
Holding your teddy bear
I can see so much of me in you
I can’t stay away from those little hands
And your sweet soul
I love you and your beautiful soul

While I’m playing with you, 
Seeing you take your first steps
Your love shines through the darkness
You stumble and you fall, but you get back up again
It’s nice to see you try again
You’re my baby girl

First day of school you walk up the steps
You say you don’t need me
But if I’ve ever needed someone, I need you
You smile and wave your little hand
This is your day to shine
Open up your wings and fly away
My little angel, my baby girl

While I’m playing with you, 
Seeing you take your first steps
Your love shines through the darkness
You stumble and you fall, but you get back up again
It’s nice to see you try again
You’re my baby girl

Someday you’ll be on your own
All you need to do is spread your wings
You are my little baby girl
You will always be my little girl
