God, i can't wait to see her. i want to touch her skin. and look in her eyes. and revel in complete awe over the perfect child that i feel stirring inside me all the time now. i hope her eyes are blue like her daddy's. and i hope she looks like he looks when he's sleeping. most of all i hope she has her daddy's heart for Jesus.
i pray everyday that somehow this beyond imperfect woman will find the strength and ability to model the good life for her. i'm scared. but so excited. if you've never felt every emotion in it's strongest form all at one time, get pregnant.
you're a "beautiful baby from the outside in..."
"gotta hold on easy as i let you go.
gonna tell you how much i love you, though you think you already know.
i remember i thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
you've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.
beautiful baby from the outside in.
chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
go on, take on this whole world.
but to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
when you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
now look at you, i've turned around and you've almost grown.
sometimes you're asleep i whisper "i love you" in the moonlight at your door.
as i walk away, i hear you say, "daddy, love you more".
beautiful baby from the outside in.
chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
go on, take on this whole world.
but to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.
someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
but i won't say "yes" to him unless i know, he's the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.
i know he'll say that he's in love.
but between you and me: he won't be good enough.
beautiful baby from the outside in.
chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
go on, take on this whole world.
but to me you know you'll always be, my little girl."
