Long ago, before we met

I dreamed about you

The peace you'd bring

The songs we'd sing

The way you'd make things new

Then one day, you arrived

I heard your angel cry

Helpless, small, and perfect

Welcome to your life

And on that day, I made a vow

Whispered and true

No matter what, no matter how

I made this promise to you

I will cling, I will clutch

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away

I won't leave, I won't go

I will stay with you all our days

Years of joy have past since then

With time I seen you grow

Watched you play, new each day

I begged the time to slow

And though I miss the little girl

You've made me awful proud

Funny how our lives change

Cause you're my hero now

But things in life will rearrange

Friends come and go

Don't ever doubt don't ever fear

I'm always here and you know

I will cling, I will clutch

I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away

I won't leave, I won't go

I will stay with you all our days

I will stay with you all our days
