A Precious Gift

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever

Now that you're here every negative thing I said I swear I take it back 
You don't understand my words yet but you will eventually 
You got your mothers eyes and you got my nose and my lips

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever

Your smile gives me motivation it gives me hope and makes me want to be a better man 
You make me proud to be alive but most importantly I'm proud to be a father

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever

I remember when I didn't know how you look
I remember when I didn't know how you smell or how you'd feel in my arms
Now when I look at you all I see is me 

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever

I'm sorry for all the things I said to your mom when you were inside her, I swear I didn't mean it 
I hope you don't hold these things against me 
But it's not just the mothers who go through **** during pregnancy 

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever

I give you my heart, I give you my love and I give you my name
I give you my word that I promise to love and take care of you for as long as I live 
I cherish you and I live for you 

Just to let you know I want you right here with me forever
