waiting for the day

i used to think in my mind
that i was never worthy of you
i prayed to god every night for this day
the day that i would hold you in my arms
it was my mission to keep you from harm
although i don't even know your name
one day i'll hold you proudly
as you look into the mirror
and i whisper in your ear, you look just like daddy
i have been waiting my whole life for this one day
when you would enter the world
and be daddy's little girl
hold on to my hand
let me be the dad i never had
theres nothing i have ever wanted as bad
then to witness the birth of my little angel
i been waiting for the day
where your mother and i picked out your name
although i love isabel, well that's what we will name you
your eyes they shine like stars in the sky
i will never leave your side
i'll sit here and wait for you to come
i'll be waiting for the day
