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
