Ashland's Song - Peter Hollens

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
