There’s a teddy on the floor and socks by the door
A four-year-old giggle running barefoot across the floor
Nightlight’s on, it’s half past two
She had a dream, now she’s crawlin’ through
Climbs in my arms like I’m her safe
And I whisper, “Baby, you’re okay”
She holds my chest, says nothin’ at all
But in her eyes, I feel ten feet tall
⸻
[Chorus]
I got two little lights in this big old world
One with wild curls, one just learning to twirl
One brings me dreams with sleepy eyes
The other steals my heart with baby cries
Ten months old, July to four
Each one I’d give my whole life for
And every laugh, every kiss goodnight
Reminds me why I live this life
Thank God above, and my strong, sweet wife
For these two little lights
⸻
[Verse 2]
My baby girl, just ten months new
Born in November with eyes so true
She smiles like her mama when I walk in
Reaches for my face with chubby little hands
Kisses my cheek like she already knows
Daddy’s been through highs and lows
But when she looks up with that little grin
The pain don’t stand a chance against her chin
⸻
[Chorus]
I got two little lights in this big old world
One with wild curls, one just learning to twirl
One brings me dreams with sleepy eyes
The other steals my heart with baby cries
Ten months old, July to four
Each one I’d give my whole life for
And every laugh, every kiss goodnight
Reminds me why I live this life
Thank God above, and my strong, sweet wife
For these two little lights
⸻
[Bridge]
And I ain’t the man I used to be
But their love rewrote the rest of me
I see God’s grace in the mess and noise
In the sleepy hugs and scattered toys
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I got two little lights, burnin’ bright and true
Showing me the better road to choose
One says “Daddy” with sleepy delight
The other giggles into the morning light
Ten months old, July to four
My heart don’t need nothin’ more
And every day, every hold so tight
I thank God for the gift of life
And the woman who gave me
These two little lights
