[Verse 1]
Tiny hands, hospital light
First cry cut through that night
Whispered your name, “Alivia”
Right then I knew who I was
You fit just right on my chest
Little heartbeat at rest
I’d been lost, drifting on my own
You turned this house into a home
[Chorus]
Alivia, my whole world
My favorite little girl
That smile, those eyes, those bedtime hugs
Pull me back from giving up
Every laugh, every tear
You’re the reason I am here
From the day your life began
You turned me into a better man
Alivia, my whole world
[Verse 2]
Morning hair, cartoon song
Mismatched shoes, you still dance along
Crayon suns on the kitchen wall
You say, “Daddy, look what I drew for y’all” (hey!)
You wrap your arms ‘round my neck
Say, “Don’t go yet, just one more sec”
And every time I walk out that door
I’m counting the minutes ‘til I’m back for more
[Chorus]
Alivia, my whole world
My favorite little girl
That smile, those eyes, those bedtime hugs
Pull me back from giving up
Every laugh, every tear
You’re the reason I am here
From the day your life began
You turned me into a better man
Alivia, my whole world
[Bridge]
One day you’ll chase bigger skies
I’ll wave through happy, blurry eyes
But no matter how far you run
You’ll always be my little one
[Chorus]
Alivia, my whole world
My favorite little girl
That smile, those eyes, those bedtime hugs
Still the reason I wake up
Every laugh, every tear
You’re the reason I am here
From that first breath to my last breath
I’ll love you with all I have left
Alivia, my whole world
