Intro: la la la lalalalala hmmmmmmmmmmm ahhhhh ah heh Verse 1: I held you in my arms for just a little while I felt your tiny heartbeat next to mine and saw your gentle little smile But life had other plans for you and me So I had to say goodbye I had to give you up to strangers with a heart so heavy and with these big tears in my eyes Chorus: Oh, my baby boy, please know I will always love you so true Though I had to give you up, it was because I truly loved you I wanted you to have a better life than i could offer, and a chance to thrive though it hurts to let you go, I know its whats best for you and that we will both survive Verse 2: I pray to God, that you will grow up strong With parents who will guide Who will give you love and support and help you reach your stride I will always be thinking of you, every step of your way Praying to God that you will find your happiness as you dance through what i hope is a brighter day Chorus: Oh, my baby boy, please know I will always love you so true Though I had to give you up, it was because I truly loved you I wanted you to have a better life than i could offer, and a chance to thrive though it hurts to let you go, I know its whats best for you and that we will both survive Bridge: My tears fell like the rain as I gave you away My heart was breaking in the most painful of ways But knowing that you are loved helps me to be strong To know for your sake, I need to move on and start singing my new song Chorus: Oh, my baby boy, please know I will always love you so true Though I had to give you up, it was because I truly loved you I wanted you to have a better life than i could offer, and a chance to thrive though it hurts to let you go, I know its whats best for you and that we will both survive Verse 3: Life will have its ups and its downs, its trials and its strife But I know that God will be there to guide you through all the darkness and be the rock in your life God will lead you and give you the strength to face each day And even though I am not here to hold your hand, know in your heart that I will pray for you every single day Chorus: Oh, my baby boy, please know I will always love you so true Though I had to give you up, it was because I truly loved you I wanted you to have a better life than i could offer, and a chance to thrive though it hurts to let you go, I know its whats best for you and that we will both survive
