[Verse 1]
There’s a little pair of shoes
By the door in my head
I keep folding up the future
Like a note that you sent
I don’t know your face yet
But I know your name
I say it to the ceiling
Like a prayer in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
And every day
Gets a little more real
My whole heart leaning
Before I can kneel
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
Hold my hand, little life
I’ve been ready all my life
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
When you cry, I’ll be there
When you smile, I’ll fall apart
[Verse 2]
I picture tiny fingers
Wrapped around mine
First breath in the quiet
First look in your eyes
I’ll learn your little language
Every need, every sign
I’ll be the steady answer
When the world feels too wide
[Pre-Chorus]
And every day
Feels a little more close
Like a door in the hallway
Opening slow
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
Hold my hand, little life
I’ve been ready all my life
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
When you cry, I’ll be there
When you smile, I’ll fall apart
[Bridge]
If you come in the night
I’ll be awake
If you come in the morning
I’ll call it fate
No matter how small
No matter how new
My whole world is waiting
Just for you
[Chorus]
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
Hold my hand, little life
I’ve been ready all my life
I can’t wait to meet you
I can’t wait to meet you
When you cry, I’ll be there
When you smile, I’ll fall apart
