The Day (That You Gave Me A Son)
written by Babyface (1997)
performed by Babyface
'Twas late December the news came
And I got so excited, I cried all day
And you were such a lovely, precious site
When I saw our baby in your eyes
It was like falling deep in love
I heard the angels cry above
I felt a blessing straight from God
The day that you gave me a son
I called 'bout everyone I knew
Just think, I'll be a father 'cause of you
There's no greater love than what you gave
A brand new baby on the way
HOOK
Oh such tears of joy, I've never known
I can't remember
It's like a song, I've never heard
I've never sung, but know the words
HOOK
I Never Die
Now is the glimmering spinning beginning
Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes
To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
Of night, here with you in my arms.
This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you and I move in a background of wonder,
Surrounded by countless enclosures
Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.
Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited, and called out my name by the hour,
And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,
You see how I need you, c
Of something I've prayed for and counted the minutes
To be in the shadows of sheltering meadows
Of night, here with you in my arms.
This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you and I move in a background of wonder,
Surrounded by countless enclosures
Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy.
Counting times you have stood at the foot of my ivory tower
And waited, and called out my name by the hour,
And counted on the wings of my heartstrings
To carry the sound, I have counted on pleading,
You see how I need you, c
