Before Me

Picked up the phone, it's the call we've been waiting for
Grabbed the keys and a car seat flew out the door
Stared at your picture till I memorized every part
Anxious to hold you in my arms
I know she gave you those big blue eyes now
Your little finger's holding mine

Our whole lives changed in an instant
Those sleepless nights, they were all worth it
Oh, I can't wait to tell you the story
I'm so lucky someone loved you before me

Before me, before me
Before me, before me

She was selfless, it must have been so hard
We think of her every day, she's in your heart
And every day for granted, the gift she gave
I'm grateful that she loved you that way
She held you first and trusted me
To forever hold you while you fall asleep
Our whole lives changed in an instant
Those sleepless nights, they were all worth it
Oh, I can't wait to tell you the story
I'm so lucky someone loved you before me

Before me, before me
Before me, before me
Before me, before me
Before me, before me

And one day when you get older
And you pull your baby closer
You'll know how much that I loved you
And I know she loved you too

Our whole lives changed in an instant
Those sleepless nights, they were all worth it
I can't wait to tell you the story
I'm so lucky someone loved you before me

Before me, before me (someone loved you)
Before me, before me (someone loved you)
Before me, before me (someone loved you)
Before me, before me (someone loved you)
