Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I thought I knew the rhythm of my heart
I thought I'd felt the fire and the spark
But the world shifted on its axis, turned brand new
The very moment that I laid my eyes on you
The silence of the room began to sing
A melody that only grace could bring
I traded everything I was to be your home
The greatest wonder that I've ever known.
(Chorus)
And I never felt a love like that till I held you in my arms
With those little hands reaching for mine as I kept you from any harm
Those precious eyes shined so bright, looking straight into mine
Yeah, a mother's love for her child only grows with time.
(Verse 2)
I watch the gentle rise and fall of every breath
A sacred bond that's stronger than the rest
I'll be the shield against the wind and the rain
I'll be the light that's dancing through your pane
You're a tiny miracle, a promise kept
In the quiet hours while the whole world slept
I see my future written in your smile
Making every single struggle worth the while.
(Chorus)
And I never felt a love like that till I held you in my arms
With those little hands reaching for mine as I kept you from any harm
Those precious eyes shined so bright, looking straight into mine
Yeah, a mother's love for her child only grows with time.
(Bridge)
The years will start to fly, and you'll start to grow
And you'll find your own way on the path you choose to go
But no matter how far the horizon might lead
I'll be the strength and the comfort that you need
It's a different kind of heartbeat, a different kind of soul
A piece of me that finally made me whole.
(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
No, I never felt a love like that till I held you in my arms
With those little hands reaching for mine as I kept you from any harm
Those precious eyes shined so bright, looking straight into mine
Yeah, a mother's love for her child only grows with time.
(Outro)
It grows with every sunset
It grows with every dawn
A love that carries over
And carries on and on
Looking into mine...
Yeah, it only grows with time.
