Lyrics
(Harley allen/paul overstreet)
The first night we brought you home, it scared me half to death I stood right beside your crib and counted every breath Lookin' at your little face, heaven seemed so close It felt all right to ask the lord for what I want the most
I wanna be there when you're one And you're just learning how to walk I wanna be there when you're two An' hear the funny ways you talk I wanna be there when you're three An my wall's covered up with chalk My only prayer: I wanna be there
I'd like to save some money so we could buy a bigger house Worked harder at my job to make my family proud A million things I've got in mind that I want to do God willing, I've got time: that's what I'll give to you
I wanna be there when you're fifteen And you're havin' your first date I wanna be there when you're sixteen And your heart's had it's first break I wanna be there when you're seventeen And think that you can't wait My only prayer: I wanna be there
I wanna be there when my little girl Was walkin' down the aisle I wanna be there, fightin' back the tears An' tryin' hard to smile. I wanna be there with your momma When you're havin' your first child. My only prayer: I wanna be there
My only prayer: I wanna be there
