Текст Peter Hollens – Ashland’s Song

My ear upon her belly
I listen to the beat
So tiny and so precious
Can’t wait until we meet

It’s been the longest day
And one I won’t forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

When the nurse first called me daddy
And handed you to me
The tears welled up in my eyes
I found it hard to see
The meeting I had waited for
Finally was here
And everything I couldn’t say
Was captured in a tear

It’s been the hardest day
And one I won’t forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

The rhythm of the monitor
A slow and steady beat
The faintest glow
The lights are low
Your mother is asleep
My world is in this room

So much I wanna give you
So much I wanna say
You’ve changed my life forever
And it’s only been a day
I’ll spend a lifetime loving you
Starting from day one
I can’t believe you’re finally here
My everything, my son

It’s been the greatest day
And one I won’t forget
It’s been the greatest day
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
