My memory is awful
But I know I'll not forget
The first time that I saw your face
The most beautiful thing that I'd seen yet
I held you and I paced the room
Staring straight into your eyes
And I knew I must protect the thing
Most precious in my life
I couldn't love my baby more
At least I thought that at the time
Yet it seems my love gets stronger
Every single time I look at you
When the time comes that you need me
I will always be right here
And when my baby needs her daddy
I'll see her again
So many years have come and gone
You're bigger and you're strong
And you swear more than a sailor
When you think I've got things wrong
It's hard to think that you were once
That baby in my arms
Now it's harder to protect you
And I'm scared you'll come to harm
You're not my baby any more
She's gone and been replaced
But my love for her gets stronger
Every single day I spend with you
When the time comes that you need me
I will always be right here
And when my baby needs her daddy
I'll see her again
I can't stop you growing up
I can't stop you moving forward
I don't know what the future will bring
I don't know what path you'll choose
I don't want to let you go, but
I don't want to control you either
I confess, I'm terrified
You'll be my baby evermore
Even when you've flown the nest
And my love will just get stronger
Every single time I think of you
And when the time comes that you need me
I will always be right here
And when my baby needs her daddy
I'll see you again
Yes when the time comes that you need me
I will always be right here
And when my baby needs her daddy
I'll see you again
