What It Means To Be Loved

For five months and eight days my wife and I had waited

Gettin' ready for our baby girl

But when he called the doctor said I need to see you

And could you come in soon

Then something died inside of me to sit with him and hear

The tests that said our baby may not live to be a year

Then turnin' to my wife and he said "whata you wanna do?"

And she said...

I wanna give her the world

I wanna hold her hand

I wanna be her mom for as long as I can

And I wanna live every moment until that day comes

I wanna show her what it means to be loved

So we spent each day, watchin' every minute

And prayin' for our baby girl

And I will not forget the way I felt that moment

When she came into this world

But they took her from the room just as soon as she was born

And watchin' through a window I could see her holdin' on

When a voice inside me said...

I wanna give her the world

I wanna be her dad

I wanna hold her close for as long as I can

And I wanna live every moment until that day comes

I wanna show her what it means to be loved

I said everyday

We've got to bring her home

She's been out to prove the doctors wrong

Oh and you should see her now

She's as pretty as her mom

And theres a boy at the front door waiting just to take her to her high school prom...

And he wants to give her the world

Wants to hold her hand

And someday she may get a wedding band

But she's gunna live every moment until that day comes

And we're gunna show her what it means to be loved

Oh yeah (what it means to be loved)

Show her what it means to be loved

What it means to be loved
