LYRICS

I heard your heart beat,
I was holding mommy's hand
When I heard your heart beat
In a hospital, watching you on a dark screen
You looked like a small P with a heartbeat
Beating out while smiling and daddy doesn't smile much
I felt temptation, wanted to fast forward through 9 months
This was way beyond 2 pink lines on a white stick
Fighting not to blink, afraid of what I might miss
When I saw your heart beat
I saw your heart beat
The world was silent when I was lost in your heartbeat
I was holding mommy's hand
All I wanted to hear was your heart speak
And hold your small hands
And warm your cold toes
Listening to you breathe, holding you so close
And sing a song so, a song so gold
A song unlike any song I wrote before
Before I heard your heart beat

Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la
Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la
La la la la la la , la la la la
Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la

I heard your heart beat,
I could see the future
Listening to your heart beat
Whispering lullabies, spending nights awake
Crayons scribbled all over the white plain
Hearing your first word, watching your first step
Singing your first song, watching my girl get bigger as the days passed
Cherishing every day, making your tomorrow better than my yesterday
By shining a bright light on your dark days
I'll be the needle and the thread to your heartbreak
I'll hold your umbrella under a rainstorm
And tell you I love you every single day
You're the reason why my heart beats for your heartbeat
The world was silent when I was lost in your heartbeat
And sing a song so, a song so gold
A song unlike any song I wrote before
Before I heard your heart beat

Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la
Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la
La la la la la la , la la la la
Singing my little girl a GOLDEN LULLABY
La la la la la la

I held my daughter through a waterfall
And sang till she turned the faucet to a water off
I protect them from the claws and the roars of the bedroom monsters
Plotting behind the closet door
Barbwire, bordering the box spring
Bear trap wait in the pajama drawer
I whistle
She giggles between sips from her bottle
Dreams, so your dreams shine bright above you
I love you
