[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Then one day, you arrived
I heard your angel cry
Helpless, small, and perfect
Welcome to your life
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And on that day, I made a vow
Whispered and true
No matter what, no matter how
I made this promise to you
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Years of joy have pa**ed since then
With time I've seen you grow
Watched you play, new each day
I begged the time to slow
[Verse 4]
And though I miss the little girl
You've made me awful proud
Funny how our lives change
Cause you're my hero now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I will stay with you all our days
