Counting the time until today
So long I've waited for a chance
When I could spend some time with you
Just with you
You are growing so very fast
And I know I'm always the very last, oh
To help you with a problem
To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down
Fall down
But when I'm gone
I need you here to carry on
My son I know you will be strong
Like a burning flame
You're my claim
That's why you've got my name
And just to show
Come what may I love you so
And there will come a day
When all that's mine is yours
To take good care of you and yours I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh, yes
When I look at you, so hard to believe
You're the younger version of older me
I swear
I swear
And this is my prayer
Oh lord, this is my prayer
I have been so far away Counting the time until today So long I've waited for a chance When I could spend some time with you Just with you You are growing so very fast And I know I'm always the very last, oh To help you with a problem To kiss your hurt if you should happen to fall down Fall down But when I'm gone I need you here to carry on My son I know you will be strong Like a burning flame You're my claim That's why you've got my name And just to show Come what may I love you so And there will come a day When all that's mine is yours To take good care of you and yours I swear I swear And this is my prayer Oh, yes When I look at you, so hard to believe You're the younger version of older me I swear I swear And this is my prayer Oh lord, this is my prayer Explain Request ×
