Mia’s Lullaby

On the third day of February

The whole world learned your name

I looked into your little eyes And nothing stayed the same

Every tiny sound you make

I carry through my days And when I have to say goodnight

Your smile still comes home with me

I may not hold each moment

I may miss a dream or two

But no clock, no road,

no distance Could take my heart from you

Mia, Mia

You made a father out of me

Turned every road behind me Into where I’m meant to be If

the whole world loses light Just follow my voice home Mia,

Mia

You will never walk alone My beautiful girl My reason to believe

Only heaven knows What you mean to me

One day you will call me “Daddy”

And I’ll hear it for the first time

One day you’ll take your first few steps With your little hand

in mine

I won’t choose your dreams for you

I’ll give your wings the sky

And when the world becomes too heavy You won’t have to hide

your tears from me Through every changing season

Through every open door

You’ll never need to wonder

What your father’s heart is for

I can’t stop the rain from falling I can’t save you from

each scar

But I’ll stand beside you through the storm And remind you who

you are

And when my hair has turned to silver

And your hand is holding mine

I’ll still see that February morning When your eyes first met with

mine

You changed my life

Before you even knew my name

Mia, Mia

You made a father out of me You gave my heart a

purpose You became my destiny

If the whole world loses light Just follow my voice home Mia,

Mia

You will never walk alone My beautiful girl No matter where you’ll

be Every beat inside my heart Will bring you back to me

Mia,

Mia

My promise will remain I will choose you every day Again and

again

My Mia… My beautiful girl…

You made a father out of me.
