I heard the news just the other day
heard you were coming yeah you're on the way
I must admit at first I turned to runaway
but now I count the days until I see your face
I hope that my eyes are the first thing that you see
looking down at you just looking up at me
I'm gonna pick you up and hold you in my arms
no I won't let you go until you tell me so
Can't wait to teach you baby everything I know
can't wait to learn from you the many things I don't
I can't believe that this is really happening
from here on out I'm only here right here for you
Yeah things around here are about to change
it's for the best I mean you know it's just so strange
I wonder if I'll even know what I should do
to do-do-do-do-do do right by you
I'm looking forward to your point of view
looking at life thru your eyes with everything brand new
I'm gonna take you by the hand help you understand
that there is nothing in this world that you can't do
Can't wait to teach you baby everything I know
can't wait to learn from you the many things I don't
I can't believe that this is really happening
from here on out I'm only here right here for you
