Step by Step

Well, I wasn't there to see the first steps Or hear the first words Or watch the doctor bring them in And there's a lot of time I missed out on I'll never get back again Call it stepping up or stepping in But step by step my world went spinning Around that little heart and angel face They're growing up and I'm growing old Making memories we'll always hold But I thank God for sending them my way 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life One day they'll have their first kiss Their first dance And their 'I turned 16 car' And I'll be right there when they walk in hurt from their first broken heart And I'm longing for those moments along with all the ones I missed I never knew this was how life would turn out But I'm sure glad it did Call it stepping up or stepping in But step by step my world went spinning Around that little heart and angel face They're growing up and I'm growing old Making memories we'll always hold But I thank God for sending them my way 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life One day they'll look back through all these years and I pray that they'll find That even though they didn't come from me They know that they're mine Call it stepping up or stepping in But step by step my world went spinning Around that little heart and angel face They're growing up and I'm growing old Making memories we'll always hold But I thank God for sending them my way 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life
