Story Behind The Song
I Just wanted to write a song about my daughters without using their names. The lyrics have been use in wedding ceremonies in the past.

It's about the feelings you get when you first have children, the joy the excitement the wonder of being a part of their world. Watching them grow and see the world through their eyes, it seems to make you reevaluate your priorities in life.

Lyrics
BEEN WAITING A LIFETIME
Been waiting a lifetime
To see your face
To see that smile
That look of grace
And now you're here
It's been worthwhile
You've got my heart, my soul, my life
Been waiting a lifetime
To see your eyes
To see them shine
Light up the sky
Just wanna hold you
For all time
You've got my heart, my soul, my life
I just don't know
How I lived without you
I can't imagine you, not here
And every day
The magic holds us
Our love will never fade away___ not fade away
Been waiting a lifetime
To hear your voice
That sound of wonder
That cry of joy
With tears of laughter
And sweet surprise
You've got my heart, my soul, my life
Been waiting a lifetime
To be with you
To see you learn
And watch you grow
Just want to hold your
Hand in mine
You've got my heart, my soul, my life
