It's a Boy

There've been many dreams and so many years,

The deepest scars and the salty tearsthey'll know.

You've been my anchor in the gale,

I never thought this boat would sail, my love.

Here we are,

My morning star, we've come this far,

And now we're only waiting.

I wanted to give you everything,

But I could barely stand on my own two feet.

Now I see the days ahead of me

A tiny heartbeat makes this life complete.

We're still strangers,

I hope your laughter fills this quiet space.

And here we are

My morning star, we've come this far,

And now we're only waiting.

When I leave this world,

When it's my time,

Keep me in your heart

And on your mind.

How I wish I knew

What I know now

I couldn't love you more,

Oh, it's a boy.

You will curse when your heart bursts

When you fall in love for the very first time.

Hold on tight when the days grow dark,

Remember, love can leave a markI know.

Tell me all about it,

Let me in or keep me out,

And we'll be fine.

I'll be your shoulder when you cry

When clouds drift by

This love is yours and mine.

When I leave this world,

When it's my time,

Keep me in your heart

And on your mind.

How I wish I knew

What I know now

I couldn't love you more,

Oh, it's a boy.

Life got in my way for so long,

Sometimes I couldn't find my way back home.

I've been caught between joy and fear,

Of missing out and ending up alone.

I'll never see you as an old man

But I'll see you every day for who you are.

And if you look closely at the night sky in October,

I will be your guiding star.

When I leave this world,

When it's my time,

Keep me in your heart

And on your mind.

How I wish I knew

What I know now

I couldn't love you more,

Oh, it's a boy.
