Peter Hollens - Ashland's Song lyrics

My ear upon her belly I listen to the beat So tiny and so precious Can't wait until we meet I'll hold you and protect you With my entire being How can a heart have grown so big For such a little thing? It's been the longest day And one I won't forget The day that we first met The day that we first met When the nurse first called me daddy And handed you to me The tears welled up in my eyes I found it hard to see The meeting I had waited for Finally was here And everything I couldn't say Was captured in a tear It's been the hardest day And one I won't forget The day that we first met The day that we first met The rhythm of the monitor A slow and steady beat The faintest glow The lights are low Your mother is asleep My world is in this room My world is just us three There's no other place that I would rather be So much I wanna give you So much I wanna say You've changed my life forever And it's only been a day I'll spend a lifetime loving you Starting from day one I can't believe you're finally here My everything, my son It's been the greatest day And one I won't forget It's been the greatest day The day that we first met The day that we first met The day that we first met The day that we first met
