It's your first day on earth A long awaited surprise We all agree you're beautiful And that you've got your mother's eyes And there's so much to tell you I don't know where to start You're so innocent and perfect But this world we live in is not But don't you worry about a thing now, child God is watchin' over us So close your eyes and go to sleep It's your first day on earth It's your first day on earth I bet you're wonderin' who I am It feels like God Himself brought you to us I'm holdin' heaven in my hands And there's so much to tell you I don't know where to start You're so innocent and perfect But this world we live in is not But don't you worry about a thing now, child God is watchin' over us So close your eyes and go to sleep It's your first day on earth Close your eyes and go to sleep It's your first day on earth I'd build a castle for you To protect you from all harm If I thought that it would keep you safe You'd never leave my arms But I know that there's a life for you That'll take you far from me And the love of God will keep you So don't you worry 'bout a thing It's your first day on earth Gonna start prayin' today That God'll send His perfect one To steal your heart away 'Cause I know that day is comin' When you'll kiss us all goodbye You'll pack up all your favorite things And start a brand a new life I know it's silly to say I'm a little sad today You won't always be with us But that's a million years from now And it's your first day on earth But that's a million years from now And it's your first day on earth It's your first day on earth
