When I finally get to meet you
I don't know what I'll say
I haven't thought that far ahead
I take it day by day
I won't pretend I've not been anxious
Spent my days on bated breath
Cursing time and wondering why I haven't lost it yet
I'm a little bit impatient
If I'm honest, I've been scared
You can take your time, I'm waiting
Even if I'm unprepared
I've been told the fear will fade, and be replaced with something new
When I finally get to meet you
When I finally get to hold you
I wonder what you'll feel
Are you tired, are you cold, do you see angels in your dreams?
You've been all we've talked about
For the better part of a year
And all we've ever wanted
Was to see you make it here
Hope you're humble, hope you're kind
Have a heart just like your mother
You won't ever have to hide
If you find yourself in trouble
I'll be the father be the friend
Be the sail that pulls you through
When I finally get to meet you
Every mountain top and every dream I've been chasing
Never could compare to the purpose that you gave me
So when i finally get to meet you
Ill do my best to slow down time
And soak up every moment
So i can save it in my mind
To tell you all about it when you're old enough to know
What it means to care about a life more than your own
When I finally get to meet you
When I finally get to meet you
