Kid Lyrics

I don't know what you'll look like yet

But I've seen you in my father's hands

As he held you in this dream that I was havin'

And then

I started to laugh, I started to cry

Thinkin' back to the time that he and I

Would do stuff growin' up like

I don't know

Fishin' n' what

But we never did anything often enough

When I could beat him at video games

He stopped playin'

Suddenly I was awake in my bed

Layin' there

Replayin' the same thoughts in my head

Over and over and over again

'Til I came to a conclusion

That I'm so content to live with

We're gonna love you so much

Bygones will be long bygone by then

You'll have a grandpa

And I'll have an old wise friend

And I don't know when you're comin' around

But I know everything I've said 'til now

Is true

I can't wait to meet you, kid

I don't know what color your eyes will be

If they're blue, if they're brown

If they're purple or green

If they're aquamarine

If you grow to be six feet

Or three feet beneath

I'm gonna squeeze those little baby feet

I wonder what your laugh will be

Y'know people my own age often laugh at me

Because I talk about you so much

But they just don't know what's up

I'm lookin' for your mother

Somethin' tells me she's gonna get it

And we're gonna love you so much

I'll do everything I'm able

To make us happy to be at the dinner table

Each and every chance we get to be together

And I don't know

When your mama's comin's around

But I know everything I've said 'til now

Is true

I can't wait to meet you, kid
