SWEET MEMORIES – NEWBORN SESSION – Giacomo

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew I’d meet death before I’d let you meet harm

Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?
Against wrong, choose right and be standin’ up
From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just ta get the carseat in right
People drivin’ all fast, got me kinda upset
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette
That night I don’t think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
‘Cause I know I loved you more than life itself
Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us, (Just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

Everything I can
Show you how to be a man

Remember one fact, I got your back

It’s a full-time job to be a good dad
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changin times

Always tell the truth, say your prayers

Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears

You’re living proof that dreams do come true

I love you and I’m here for you
