....there's something that's so sweet about beginnings…

They placed you in my arms tonight;

I can hardly believe that you are mine.

Tiny fingers, tiny toes,

a tiny life that's gonna grow,

I've waited so many years for this day-

-I want to make it stay.

I want to remember this,

I want to remember this,

every smile, every kiss, every moment's like a promise,

and I want to remember this.

We brought our bundle home tonight,

half scared to death but on cloud nine.

And as I rocked you in the dark

I could feel your tiny heart;

I said a prayer as I kissed your sweet face,

"Lord, keep him safe."

I want to remember this,

I want to remember this,

every smile, every kiss, every moment's like a promise,

and I want to remember this.

Every season, every age

will be beautiful in its own way,

from preschool through to prom,

even your wedding day.

And we'll celebrate and walk with you,

each step that your life brings,

but there's something that's so sweet about beginnings…

I want to remember this,

I want to remember this,

every smile, every kiss, every moment's like a promise.

I want to remember this,

I want to remember this,

every tear, every touch, I just can't believe I love you this much,

and I want to remember,

I want to remember,

I want to remember this.
