Learning As You Grow

Some things are worth the waiting for
You were all of that and more
My mystery
I was scared and happy too
Everything was strange and new
Like it should be
I thought I knew all about love
Till your first breath

Now I’m learning, learning as you grow
Every day there’s one more thing I didn’t know
A little less holding on and a lot more letting go
And I’m learning, learning as you grow

Every day is borrowed time
I just hope I get it right
That’s why I’m here
Babies don’t come with a book
But I hung in, did what it took
Through smiles and tears
You and I, we’re growing up
And we’ve done just fine

But I’m still learning, learning as you grow
Every day there’s one more thing I didn’t know
A little less holding on and a lot more letting go
And I’m learning, learning as you grow
