Thought You'd Be Here

We thought you'd be here by now Your Mother and I We're praying through our tears That somehow We might hear your sweet cry Have we waited to long It's getting harder to be strong Is there something we've done wrong But if you like dancing I'll make it rain rhythm and rhyme And melodies, child And if you like dreaming Your Mother will make your Imagination run wild Somehow, We thought you'd be here by now We have a room just for you, upstairs It's right down the hall So we'll be close should you ever Get scared We'll come when you call It's a room full of stories Waiting to be told Longing to behold And if you like laughing I'll paint you a circus of smiles And ferris wheels, dear And if you like living Your Mother will fly you to Worlds both far and near Somehow I never knew the silence Could make me so deaf I never knew that I could Miss someone I never met Miss someone I haven't met yet We'll be waiting
