In My Arms lyrics

(Mark Wills/Monty Criswell/Michael White)

Three a.m. on the clock
Lullaby, music box
Oh, baby please don`t cry
Let`s let mama sleep tonight
You`ve only been home one day
You don`t even know your name
Tiny hand on my cheek
You;re a miracle to me
In the still ness of the night
Cradled in this rocking chair
I hold all my hopes and dreams,
Every single answered prayer

In my arms
Wish I could hold you forever
In my arms
I will give you shelter
Still I know I can`t always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There`ll always be a place for you...in my arms

As I watch you take each breath
Oh, it scares me to death
To know you`re counting on me
To be the daddy that you need
Wounded knees, broken hearts
Learning how to drive a car
When it`s time for your first date
Will I know just what to say
And when you find that one true love
I`ll put on my best smile
And I`ll try to hide my tears
As I walk you down the aisle

In my arms
Wish I could hold you forever
In my arms
I will give you shelter
Still I know I can`t always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There`ll always be a place for you...in my arms

Oh, this promise I will keep
As you finally fall asleep...in my arms
