my first time I cried
you were incredible, took my breath away
I remember first time your eyes met mine
I saw a lot of me in you
that day I vowed to do my best
to try and teach you right when you're wrong
but you gotta live out your lessons
time makes it all right
watch you grow, you think you know
but I know better cos I been there, seen that, did it
how you think you got it
Chorus
My gift for life is seeing the smile on your face
that's when all of my troubles melt away
holding you in my arms makes the world feel like a better place
you say I love you, well I say that I love you too
I love you, I love you, you too I do
my second time around
man this is crazy incredible
to feel something like this again is so remarkable
big bright eyes, little lips, with daddy's attitude
so I know the biggest job ahead of me
is doing my best
to try and teach you right when you're wrong
but you gotta live out your lessons
time makes it all right
watch you grow, you think you know
I know better cos I been there, seen that, did it
how you think you got it
My gift for life is seeing the smile on your face
that's when all of my troubles melt away
holding you in my arms makes the world feel like a better place
you say I love you, well I say that I love you too
Bridge
life ain't a perfect story write it while you live it
Most of all gather your pain
know that joy's gonna kill it
and no matter what you're still together
ha listen you're gonna fight but work it out
You're all you got in this life
My gift for life is seeing the smile on your face
that's when all of my troubles melt away
holding you in my arms makes the world feel like a better place
y'all know I love you
My gift for life is seeing the smile on your face
that's when all of my troubles melt away
holding you in my arms makes the world feel like a better place
you say i love you, and I say that I love you too
I love you, I love you, love you too ooh
love you more, love you too I love
I love you too
