John Michael Montgomery - I Wanna Be There

Текст песни

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
