Long ago, before we met 
I dreamed about you. 
The peace you’d bring. 
The songs we’d sing. 
The way you make things new

Then one day, you arrived. 
I heard your angel’s cries. 
Helpless, small, and perfect, [bad word] to your life.

And on that day, I made a vow. 
Whispered and [bad word]  
No matter what, no matter how
I made this promise to you.

I will cling, I will clutch 
I’ll hold onto you, I won’t turn away. 
I won’t leave, I won’t go
I will stay with you all our days.

Years of joy have past since then. 
With time I seen you grow. 
Watched you play, new each day. 
I begged the time to slow.

And though I miss the little girl
You’ve made me so proud. 
Funny how our lives change
Cause your my hero now.

But things in life will rearrange.  [bad word] and go
Don’t ever doubt don’t ever fear
I’m always here, you know.

I will cling, I will clutch 
I’ll hold onto you, I won’t turn away. 
I won’t leave, I won’t go
I will stay with you all our days.

I will stay with you all our days.
