from here

Big Daddy Weave

My child, IÂ?ve hoped and IÂ?ve prayed for this very day
Since you were just a little one
And oh how my heart swells with pride
As I watch the man that youÂ?ve become
But this life offers no guarantees
And though my time on this earth had to end
IÂ?m sure that your heart would know peace
If you could just see where I am

From here, the race has been run and loveÂ?s already won
I see clearly the end and the start
From here, IÂ?m cheering you on
So live out each breath with all that youÂ?ve got
And know until I hold you close
IÂ?ll be holding you dear in my heart
From here

IÂ?ve seen your tears as youÂ?ve waited alone
Longing for that special one
And now all the waiting is done
As you gaze into her eyes
Seeing the reflection of love
LifeÂ?s road may seem rough up ahead
And for now you see only in part
So hold onto each other and know
That there is an end to the dark

Heaven is calling and my heart keeps longing
Looking so forward to the day
When weÂ?ll be together forever in eternity
Just you wait and see
