I would trade the sleepless nights
Even just for a short while
But I wouldn’t change a single one
If it meant not seeing your sweet smile
With every little breath you take
You fill your lungs and fill my heart
And if I were to tell the truth
I struggle when we’re apart
As you snuggle your face into me
And cling your arms around my neck
I feel time slow down around me
As I take in every speck
You grip tight around my finger
“Don’t worry, I’m still here”
No matter what life throws at you
Know that I’ll always be near
I marvel as you change
Right in front of me
As every day passes by
You develop your identity
The love from dad to daughter
Is powerful and unique
An overwhelming urge to protect
Seven days a week
The light from behind the curtain
Is making the room glow
I’d love to stay in this moment forever
But can’t wait to see you grow
I wonder who you will be
What you’ll do, who you’ll become
I just hope that you will know you’re loved
That you’ll be happy and have fun
Five months is all it’s taken
For you to change my world
You’ve brought a new light with you
My special little girl
