Emerald Eyes
2 am
Wide awake in the dark, not a sound
But your mother softly breathing
As she lay there next to me
I shed a tear
As the weight settled deep in my chest
Knowing I would be your father
In a few short winter weeks
Could've sworn
I was ready, but there came the thought
Is it really wise to give me
This responsibility?
How could I
Be a model for how you should live?
Can I really, in good conscience
Let a child look up to me?
'Cause I know who I am
And I know what I've done
And sometimes I'm not sure I have what
It takes to raise you
But I'll do what I can
And I hope that someday
When you grow up you'll say that I am
Worth looking up to
Three years in
I'm so proud as I'm watching you grow
And you know I wouldn't trade it
For all the riches in the world
And you make
Me feel like I can do anything
I could climb the highest mountain
Because you're my little girl
But I know who I am
And I know what I've done
And sometimes I'm not sure I have what
It takes to raise you
But I'll do what I can
And I hope that someday
When you grow up you'll say that I am
Worth looking up to
When you look at me with those emerald eyes
Sometimes it's like I'm paralyzed
And you could ask me for anything you want
Even though you haven't been here long
You're already so fierce and strong
I can't wait to see who you become
I know who I am
And I know what I've done
And sometimes I'm not sure I have what
It takes to raise you
But I'll do what I can
And you know that I pray
When you grow up you'll say that I am
Yeah, you'll grow up and say that I am
Worth looking up to
Wide awake in the dark, not a sound
But your mother softly breathing
As she lay there next to me
I shed a tear
As the weight settled deep in my chest
Knowing I would be your father
In a few short winter weeks
Could've sworn
I was ready, but there came the thought
Is it really wise to give me
This responsibility?
How could I
Be a model for how you should live?
Can I really, in good conscience
Let a child look up to me?
'Cause I know who I am
And I know what I've done
And sometimes I'm not sure I have what
It takes to raise you
But I'll do what I can
And I hope that someday
When you grow up you'll say that I am
Worth looking up to
Three years in
I'm so proud as I'm watching you grow
And you know I wouldn't trade it
For all the riches in the world
And you make

And you know that I pray
When you grow up you'll say that I am
Yeah, you'll grow up and say that I am
Worth looking up to
