I hope you get your moms eyes
And see the world the way she does
I know you'll shine bright
I hope you know that you're enough
I probably won't always get it right
I'll probably let you down once or twice
But I won't stop for nothing, no
Dear son or daughter
I promise I'll be everything you need
Keep you safe but always let you spread your wings
I'll love you with every last part of me
If you'll let me
Dear son or daughter
Dear son or daughter
Don't want the world to hurt you
I don't wanna see you cry
If I could hold you
For the rest of your life
I could make sure that you'd always be okay
Make sure that I'm there to save the day
But I know I'll have to let you grow up
Dear son or daughter
I promise I'll be everything you need
Keep you safe but always let you spread your wings
I'll love you with every last part of me
If you'll let me
Dear son or daughter
Dear son or daughter
If I get to be your father
I'll be the best one I know how to be
I'll be your strength whenever you feel weak
And when the time comes, I'll let you take care of me
'Til I have to leave
Dear son or daughter
