Jasper

Those tiny eyes, they’ll paralyze

They’ll melt you down and make a mess of your insides

Who would have guessed I’d be held up by a gaze

Held up high for days and days

A little scared, and unprepared

Decisions and directions, all up in the air

Then I heard your little voice sing out

That song you sand wiped away any doubt

When I see you smile more than once and a while

I think maybe that I was in denial

Because I could have sworn that before you were born

There was no room for me to open a door

On the night that you arrived

My heart began to race, went into overdrive

I was sure it would jump out of my chest

That’s when I knew this was for the best

Now the days, they come and go

They move so fast, wish I could make them move slow

If I could and knew it wouldn’t do harm

I’d stop right now with you in my arms

When I see you smile more than once and a while

I think maybe that I was in denial

Because I could have sworn that before you were born

There was no room for me to open a door

When I see you smile more than once and a while

I think maybe that I was in denial

Because I could have sworn that before you were born

There was no room for me to open a door

Now that you’re here, I’m holding you near

I’ll hold you tight for years and years

Cause someday I know that you’ll have to go

So for right now I’m just enjoying the show

Before you go
