[verse] When you were born, I had feared this crazy world would come and harm you, So small you were, Depending on the broken man who had no clue, what he was living for (what he was living for) [verse] when you were one, You laid upon my chest and calmed my spirit so, I cried so much, Feeling you grasping my finger never letting go, (never letting go), it's still all I'll ever need [chorus] My heart was mine My heart is yours And every year I have with you I want so many more [bridge] I will be here until I die And I will fight with all the angels To watch you from the sky [chorus] Because your mine until the end of time And then some more because I'm yours [verse] When you were five, You laughed while I read it still makes me smile, Still broke inside, But you make my days feel colored, make me feel alive, (so very alive) [verse] When you were eight, We cried together bout the kids that wouldn't let you play, I'd beat them up, But instead I'd hold you steady and give you a hug, a snuggly cuddly bear hug [chorus] My heart was mine My heart is yours And every year I have with you I want so many more [bridge] I will be here until I die And I will fight with all the angels To watch you from the sky [chorus] Because your mine until the end of time And then some more because I'm yours Now that your nine, I fear the time is running out that you are mine, Soon you'll have your own life (own life), And I'll be here having to watch you from the sidelines it will be fine... [chorus] Because your mine until the end of time And then some more because I'm yours [outro:] I will be here until I die And I will fight with all the angels To watch you from the sky I will fight with all the angels to watch you from the sky (c) 2024 SebastiaanVW
