I don't know If I'll ever look in your eyes
But I've imagined it a thousand times
Me and your mom are still hung up on your name
But we'll pick a good one all the same

I wanna give you more than I had
But I'm not sure I can be a good dad
I hope this song can make you feel brave
Even if I don't know the right things to say

Love I know the worlds gonna change
But I hope you still find me this way

I'm somewhere between, a boy and a man
Somewhere between my hopes and a plan
You're somewhere between a gleam in my eye
And in bed so if this is your lullaby

Close your eyes
And know you are loved
You have a father below and above
So be strong,
Don't be afraid to be wrong
Be brave,
The darkness will turn to day

If your impatient it runs in the family
So be patient with the ones in your family
I know it's hard but try to love your enemies
Your doing it right when they join the family

Fall in love but be patient waiting for the one
Be spontaneous but don't lose sight of what is yet to come
Jon foreman was your daddy's favorite poet
And andrew mcmahon was on top of your mommas play list

Even though the songs we love may change
Our love for you will stay the same

Close your eyes
And know you are loved
You have a father below and above
So be strong,
Don't be afraid to be wrong
Be brave,
The darkness will turn to day

My greatest fear is that you will or won't read this
Because your mom and me can never really see us
Raising a kid with the way the world is
So I hope you know that if your listening to this

We decided we could love you and God would do the rest
Cause we've seen him love us and know you would be blessed
So long before we decided he decided for us
Let love be your engine, be strong and courageous

Close your eyes
And know you are loved
You have a father below and above
So be strong,
Don't be afraid to be wrong
Be brave,
The darkness will turn to day
