In My Arms

3 a.m. on the clock Lullaby, music box Oh baby, please don't cry Let's let mama sleep tonight You've only been home one day You don't even know your name Tiny hand on my cheek You're a miracle to me In the stillness of the night Cradled in this rocking chair I hold all my hopes and dreams Every single answered prayer In my arms Wish I can hold you forever In my arms I will give you shelter Still, I know I can't always be there To protect you from this great big old world But I swear this much is true There'll always be a place for you in my arms As I watch you take each breath Oh, it scares me to death To know you're counting on me To be the daddy that you need Wounded knees and broken hearts Learning how to drive a car When it's time for your first date Will I know just what to say? When you find that one true love I'll put on my best smile And I'll try to hide my tears As I walk you down the aisle In my arms Wish I can hold you forever In my arms I will give you shelter Still, I know I can't always be there To protect you from this great big old world But I swear this much is true There'll always be a place for you In my arms Wish I can hold you forever In my arms Oh now, I will give you shelter Still, I know I can't always be there To protect you from this great big old world But I swear this much is true There'll always be a place for you in my arms Oh, this promise I will keep As you finally fall asleep In my arms
