The first time I held you
my daughter, I knew,
I’d love you forever.
Yes, that will be true.
I’ll hold you no matter
The day or the time,
And walk you through life,
Sweet child of mine.
Soon you’ll be bigger,
No longer so small,
However, in life, we all sometimes fall.
So, lean on me, daughter,
And know that I’m here,
I’ll help you through it,
There’s nothing to fear.
I hope when you find
there are mountains to climb
You’ll run to your mama,
Sweet child of mine.
Until then I’ll kiss you
And hug you and pray
That no matter, come what may,
You know where your home is,
It’s not hard to find,
Its right in my arms,
Sweet child of mine.
