(to my baby on the way)
When I heard the news of you
I did what most daddies do,
I opened up my heart so wide
For you to have a place inside,
As each day passes, I think of you
Watching you grow, I'm expecting too,
I've tried to imagine the person you'll be
Will you look or act like me,
I've thought of the things we'll do
The times we'll share, me and you,
I will give you piggyback rides
Push your swing and watch you slide,
I will hold your hand in mine
Be your protector, strong yet kind,
I will be your hero and friend
Give love and advice on which you depend,
Life gave me a moment, precious and rare
Bursting with pride, excitement and care,
I promise you now, with all that I have
See, you'll be my child and I'll be your dad,
When I heard the news of you
I did what most daddies do,
I opened up my heart so wide
For you to have a place inside,
