The Death of Me

If I'm honest, I was happy with just a little boy Because the truth is that I never thought I'd be A brand new dad to any, surprised by all the joy And a new branch growing on the family tree Then I heard the news That my one had become two And instinctively I knew What I was going to lose I know you will be the death of me Here's to all the nights I have ahead with no more sleep No more cash or credit, no more time that's free Baby you will be the death of me Baby you will be the death of me If I'm honest, when I found out you were a little girl A fear crept in I've never known before In an instant you've become the center of my world And the man I've known has ceased to be no more I have no more hope I'll be lifeless on a rope A D.N.R. on my note Put the tag on my toe I know you will be the death of me Here's to watching you grow up while crying quietly Playing with Barbies, making time for tea Baby you will be the death of me You'll probably look something like your mom And honestly that makes this even harder 'Cause I already know how to say I'm wrong So I already know how to have a daughter If I'm honest as a parent, you already know That it takes so much to lay down your life But if you lay it down, you find it, or so I've been told So I'll lay mine down as I kiss your head tonight I guess it's not so hard If you just let down your guard When you see the life you start When you make a beating heart I know you will be the death of me Because of you I'll walk into the greatest mystery You are my angel, tonight I'll rest In peace Baby you will be the death of me Baby you will be the death of me
