The first time I held you<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

my daughter, I knew,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d love you forever.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, that will be true.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll hold you no matter<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day or the time,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And walk you through life,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet child of mine.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon you\u2019ll be bigger,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No longer so small,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, in life, we all sometimes fall.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So,\u00a0lean on me, daughter,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And know that I\u2019m here,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll help you through it,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing to fear.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope when you find\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

there are mountains to climb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll run to your mama,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweet child of mine.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until then I\u2019ll kiss you\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And hug you and pray<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That no matter, come what may,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You know where your home is,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to find,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Its right in my arms,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
