Ashland's Song Lyrics

My ear upon her belly
I listen to the beat
So tiny and so precious
Can't wait until we meet
I'll hold you and protect you
with my entire be
How can a heart have grown so big,
For such a little thing?

It's been the longest day
And one I won't forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

When the nurse first called me daddy
And handed you to me
The tears welled up in my eyes
I found it hard to see
The meeting I had waited for
Finally was here
And everything I couldn't say
Was captured in a tear
It's been the hardest day (hardest day)
And one I won't forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

The rhythm of the monitor
A slow and steady beat
The faintest glow
The lights alow
Your mother is asleep
My world is in this room
My world is just us three
There's no other place that I would rather be
So much I wanna give you
So much I wanna say
You've changed my life forever
And it's only been a day
I'll spend a lifetime loving you
Starting from day one
I can't believe you're finally here
My everything, my son

It's been the greatest day
And one I won't forget
It's been the greatest day
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
