song for my babies

You're just a baby for a while.
You won't be little very long.
so I will try to make you smile,
and sing you little baby songs.

I will keep you close
I will hold you tight.
never let you go,
till the time is right.
When you spread your wings,
On the verge of flight
I will fly with you
till the time is right.

So many things that are so new.
You'll want to try them on your own.
So I will wait until you're through
but never leave you all alone.

I will keep you close
I will hold you tight.
never let you go,
till the time is right.
When you spread your wings,
On the verge of flight
I will let you go,
But I'll keep in sight.

And when you've tasted of success
and when your confidence has grown
Then may I never second guess
that you can do it on your own.

I will keep you close
I will hold you tight.
never let you go,
till the time is right.
When you spread your wings,
On the verge of flight
I will let you go,
I will watch you fly!

Then I will hold you in my heart
although no longer in my arms
And even though we are apart,
I'll pray you never come to harm

I will watch you go
as your dreams take flight.
I will let you go,
for the time is right.
And my heart will swell,
and my eyes will well
I can not say no,
You were meant to fly!
