Mine

I remember the first time You wrapped your tiny hand in mine How could I forget? I held you there upon my chest Heart to heart and breath to breath How could I forget? Before I held you, I knew I loved you Before I saw you, I was sold out for you I was writing lullabies Before I ever heard your cry I've been here the whole time You always have, you always will be mine Step by not-so-steady step Holding up your arms again How could I forget? It wasn't when you got it right I was cheering all the time I will be 'til the end Before I held you, I knew I loved you Before I saw you, I was sold out for you I was writing lullabies Before I ever heard your cry I've been here the whole time You always have, you always will be mine You're mine I'm not too busy I'm not in a hurry Slow down, just breathe And lean right into me Before I held you, I knew I loved you Before I saw you, I was sold out for you I was writing lullabies Before I ever heard your cry I've been here the whole time You always have, you always will be mine And through the nights when you're afraid I will be your safest place I will lift your head And I won't let you forget
