3 a.m. on the clock

Lullaby, music box

Oh baby, please don′t cry

Let's let mama sleep tonight

You′ve only been home one day

You don't even know your name

Tiny hand on my cheek

You're a miracle to me

In the stillness of the night

Cradled in this rocking chair

I hold all my hopes and dreams

Every single answered prayer

In my arms

Wish I can hold you forever

In my arms

I will give you shelter

Still, I know I can′t always be there

To protect you from this great big old world

But I swear this much is true

There′ll always be a place for you in my arms

As I watch you take each breath

Oh, it scares me to death

To know you're counting on me

To be the daddy that you need

Wounded knees and broken hearts

Learning how to drive a car

When it′s time for your first date

Will I know just what to say?

When you find that one true love

I'll put on my best smile

And I′ll try to hide my tears

As I walk you down the aisle

In my arms

Wish I can hold you forever

In my arms

I will give you shelter

Still, I know I can't always be there

To protect you from this great big old world

But I swear this much is true

There′ll always be a place for you

In my arms

Wish I can hold you forever

In my arms

Oh now, I will give you shelter

Still, I know I can't always be there

To protect you from this great big old world

But I swear this much is true

There'll always be a place for you in my arms

Oh, this promise I will keep

As you finally fall asleep

In my arms
