A Letter to My Daughter Lyrics

Thinking… breathing… feeling

Slow down time because it flies so fast

I’m trying to absorb the seconds while they last

Your scent, your smile the twinkle in your eye

All the firsts every low and every high

Catching tears when I’m looking at your face

You are the best part of me, you are my saving grace

And so I wish for you my love   

I want you to feel loved

Want you to be free

Want you to be anything you dream you can be

Want you to have pride

Be humble in between

Don't blend into the crowd if you want to be seen

I want you to love

With your entire heart

Finish everything that you start

Want you to be still

As sweet as you are now

Even when your fears try to bring you down

I want you 

Your tiny hand, is wrapped around my finger so tight

You fall asleep, all cuddled in my arms at night

I know, this will only last for so long

So I’m holding on extra tight, while I write you this song 

You look at me, I’m wondering if I’m doing my best

You are everything and I am blessed

And so I wish for you my love

I want you to be strong

And stand for your belief

But have compassion for anyone that you meet

I want you to be brave

When I am not in sight

But fall into my arms so I can tell you it's alright

Take responsibility and own any mistakes

You’ll get through anything even when your heart breaks

Don’t apologize for being who you are

Shine bright you are a star

I want you  

Ahh

Ahh

I want you to feel loved

Want you to be free

Want you to be anything you dream you can be

Want you to have pride

Be humble in between

Don't blend into the crowd baby you should be seen

I want you to love

With your entire heart

Finish everything that you start

Want you to be still

As sweet as you are now

Even when your fears try to bring you down

I want you 

I want you 

I love you 

Thinking... breathing… feeling
