Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tiny shoes on the table

Still tied together with a tag

Little frame with your first picture

On the fridge beside a grocery list and a magnet flag

I talk to you in the quiet

Driving home from another long day

Tell you all the stupid things I’m scared of

And how I’m learning it’s okay

[Chorus]

I haven’t seen your face

But I already miss you

Haven’t heard you cry

But I swear I’d die to kiss you

I’m practicing your name

In this empty hallway air

I’m not a father yet

But I promise I’ll be there

Oh

I promise I’ll be there

[Verse 2]

Your mom laughs when I panic

Over building your crib straight

I measure every single corner

Like it’s holding all our fate

There’s a book about “how to do this”

Open

But I just stare

’Cause what if all you really need

Is someone clumsy who just cares

[Chorus]

I haven’t seen your face

But I already miss you

Haven’t held your hand

But my whole world leans toward you

I’m practicing your name

On this worn-out

Creaking chair

I’m not a father yet

But I promise I’ll be there

Oh

I promise I’ll be there

[Bridge]

One day you’ll call me “Daddy” (yeah)

And I’ll try not to cry

When you’re learning how to stand up

I’ll be learning how to try

If I ever seem uncertain

Just remember

Little one

I might not have all the answers

But I’ll never

Ever run

[Chorus]

I haven’t seen your face

But I already love you

Haven’t heard you breathe

But my every breath’s for you

I’m practicing your name

Like a quiet

Tender prayer

I’m not a father yet

But I promise I’ll be there

From your very first small heartbeat

I was already there
