Emerald Eyes

2 am Wide awake in the dark, not a sound But your mother softly breathing As she lay there next to me I shed a tear As the weight settled deep in my chest Knowing I would be your father In a few short winter weeks Could've sworn I was ready, but there came the thought Is it really wise to give me This responsibility? How could I Be a model for how you should live? Can I really, in good conscience Let a child look up to me? 'Cause I know who I am And I know what I've done And sometimes I'm not sure I have what It takes to raise you But I'll do what I can And I hope that someday When you grow up you'll say that I am Worth looking up to Three years in I'm so proud as I'm watching you grow And you know I wouldn't trade it For all the riches in the world And you make Me feel like I can do anything I could climb the highest mountain Because you're my little girl But I know who I am And I know what I've done And sometimes I'm not sure I have what It takes to raise you But I'll do what I can And I hope that someday When you grow up you'll say that I am Worth looking up to When you look at me with those emerald eyes Sometimes it's like I'm paralyzed And you could ask me for anything you want Even though you haven't been here long You're already so fierce and strong I can't wait to see who you become I know who I am And I know what I've done And sometimes I'm not sure I have what It takes to raise you But I'll do what I can And you know that I pray When you grow up you'll say that I am Yeah, you'll grow up and say that I am Worth looking up to
