The Wait Turned Into Hours,
Before You Came My Way.
The Smile That Filled A Daddy's Heart,
On That Special Day.
The Moment Left Me Speechless,
I Didn't Know What To Say.
Then You Took Your First Breath,
An' That Took Mine Away.

Days Go By So Quickly;
Summer Turns To Fall.
Seems Like Only Yesterday,
That You Began To Crawl.
So Don't Be Afraid To Take That Step,
I'll Catch You When You Fall.
I Don't Mind If You Leave Behind,
A Few Handprints On The Wall.

I Can't Describe This Feeling,
Way Down Deep Inside
"The Itsy-Bitsy Spider",
Was The First Thing That We Tried.
An' "Patty Cake, The Baker's Man,"
With Your Hands, So Very Small.
You Could Always Stay This Young,
And I Wouldn't Mind At All.

Days Go By So Quickly;
Summer Turns To Fall.
Seemed Like Only Yesterday,
That You Began To Crawl.
So Don't Be Afraid To Take That Step,
I'll Catch You When You Fall.
An' I Don't Mind If You Leave Behind,
A Few Handprints On The Wall.

So Don't Be Afraid To Take That Step,
I'll Catch You If You Fall.
An' I Won't Mind If You Leave Behind,
A Few Handprints On The Wall.
