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 forgеt?
It wasn't when you got it right
I was cheering all the time
I will bе '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
