Lyrics

You wrecked me in the moment I first knew that you were mine
The instant I first held you forever changed my life
I still see my pinky wrapped in your tiny little hand
yet I'm somehow to accept that my baby is a man
Well, I'm sorry, but I can't

It's not that I can't see that you now reach the highest shelf
and it's not that I'm not ready to share you with somebody else
I thank God that you've become the man that other people see
but as long as I'm living, my baby you will be

Hold her tight, treat her well
Don't be afraid to be yourself
Be strong and brave and fearless
and love with all your might
A real man leads from on his knees
and is not too proud to cry

Now my head rests on your shoulder
and my hand fits inside yours
but my heart still hears that giggle
of a precious little boy
I thank God that you've become the man that other people see
but as long as I'm living, my baby you will be

My baby you will be
