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
