Can we talk for a while
Now we wait for our child to arrive
It ' s been 9 long months to the day
Did I make a mistake
Now I try so hard to forget
Can you ever forgive what I said
How can I be any stronger just falling apart
Now I can ' t wait any longer wanting to know
When she cries I just fall to pieces
When she cries I ' m only a heartbeat away
In a chair by the window
I am frozen in fear and in awe
I have never been so afraid
Yes I tried to deny
Now you see that I ' ve opened my eyes
Can you ever forgive what I did
Here in the final moment with tears in my eyes
What will she look like I wonder and now she is here
When she cries I just fall to pieces
When she cries I ' m only a heartbeat away
And now the wait is over
And life has just begun
And everything is all so fresh and new
So can ' t we start all over
And leave the past behind
And let this little girl show us what to do
When she cries I just fall to pieces
When she cries I ' m only a heartbeat away
When she cries I just fall to pieces
When she cries I ' m only a heartbeat away
