More Time Lyrics

I had given up long before

You were so unexpected

When I heard you were coming

I was worried I'd be rejected

You were born and I couldn't believe it

How could you be so perfect?

But that's one of the miracles

Because I cab be so far from it

Refrain:

I wasn't ready for that

I thought I was but I was wrong

I just needed some more time

To cherish it before it was gone

It was kind of overwhelming

I've never loved anyone more

Sharing your world was scary for me

There were dangers through every door

The teenage years were a bumpy ride

Everything was on the table

Once you started to drive and could get away

That's when things became more stable

But I wasn't ready for that

I thought I was but I was wrong

I just needed some more time

To cherish it before it was gone

How's a father supposed to sleep

There are many potholes to avoid

You're always out driving your jeep

The world's an adventure for any boy

Greek life offered some brotherhood

But there are too many chances to fight

You had to learn to calm yourself

So it's not such a complicated plight

I wasn't ready for that

I thought but I was but I was wrong

I just needed some more time

To cherish it before it was gone

You have grown into a kind person

We get that feedback from everyone

I have seen it with my own eyes

You are willing to help anyone

Leaving home was a sad goodbye

Pride understates the heart's singing

You have found comfort in the world

I look forward to what the future's bringing

But I'm not ready for this

I thought I was but I was wrong

I just need some more time

I want to cherish this before I'm gone

I had given up long before

You were so unexpected

When I heard you were coming

I was worried I'd be rejected

But I'm not ready for this

I thought I was but I was wrong

I just need some more time

To say I love you my most beautiful son
