Verse 1
The day, she came,
it took my breath away
Someone to call my own,
It made me feel so brave
I would fight the world,
and think it all worthwhile
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms

I watched her grow,
with her mothers eyes
Here was a piece of me,
with her grand-ma's nose
She goo'd and gar'd, and made us laugh,
like babies like to do
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
Chorus
Holding my baby in my arms
Oh, it took me be surprise
A little hand had touched my heart
It made me feel so alive
I'll always remember
I'll always remember
Verse 2
At her first steps,
I cried with all my heart
Falling into my arms,
laughing we fell
How good it felt,
watching my baby
with her mothers eyes
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
The day that she called my name,
it took my breath away
Little smiling eyes I
heard them call my name
How wonderful, that moment
you hardly can believe
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
Chorus
Holding my baby in my arms
Oh, it took me be surprise
A little hand had touched my heart
It made me feel so alive
I'll always remember
I'll always remember
Verse 3
The first day of school,
it almost broke my heart
She was away from me,
It only was the start
Excited tears, a world of fears,
and that was all just me
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
The day I dread,
It finally has arrived
She's meet a boy at school,
I'm not at all surprised
She's grown up beautiful, It had to be,
but why'd it come so soon
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
Chorus
Holding my baby in my arms
Oh, it took me be surprise
A little hand had touched my heart
It made me feel so alive
I'll always remember
I'll always remember
Verse 4
She's standing in her room,
all dressed up in white
She's looking beautiful,
her mums been up all night
She's such a lady now,
Still tom-boy in her heart
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
Together we stand out side,
the church is all in white
Her next steps
will take her from my life
The music starts and of we march,
my baby's now a wife
And I remember, remember,
holding my baby in my arms
Chorus
Holding my baby in my arms
Oh, it took me be surprise
A little hand had touched my heart
It made me feel so alive
I'll always remember
I'll always remember
Bridge
I've got one question
How could I,
have made something,
so beautiful, So perfect,
So perfect in my eyes
Chorus
Holding my baby in my arms
Oh, it took me be surprise
A little hand had touched my heart
It made me feel so alive
I'll always remember
I'll always remember
Song Story
My daughter is 10 going on 29, and she doesn't live with me any more, I'm missing the little things, the moments in her growing up that you never get back; you work it out.
