Handprints On The Wall

The wait turned into hours before you came my way
The smile that filled a daddy's heart on the special day
The moment left me speechless, I didn't know what to say
Then you took your first breath 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
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
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
