Waiting on Henry James
We've got little blue blankets folded,
Tiny boots all by the door.
Every day we're counting down now,
Couldn't ask for anything more.
Jenna smiles each time you wiggle,
Benn just can't wait to see your face.
Every heartbeat brings us closer,
To our little Henry James.
We're waiting on Henry James,
Already love your sweet little name.
Grandma's praying, Grandpa's smiling,
Nothing's ever been the same.
I'm your Gigi, don't you worry,
I've got kisses by the score.
Little Henry James, sweet baby boy,
We're gonna love you more and more.
Your little room is almost ready,
Filled with dreams both bright and new.
Every blanket, every bedtime,
Has been made with love for you.
We'll be cheering every first step,
Every laugh and every game.
Every memory starts together,
With our little Henry James.
We're waiting on Henry James,
Already love your sweet little name.
Mama's gentle, Daddy's faithful,
You'll be wrapped in love each day.
I'm your Gigi, don't you worry,
I'll be with you through it all.
If you ever need somebody,
I'll be there when you call.
Bridge
We'll catch fireflies in the summer,
Watch the leaves turn red and gold.
I'll tell you stories, sing you lullabies,
As you grow another year old.
When life gets big and you feel small,
I'll remind you just the same—
You were loved before we held you,
Our sweet little Henry James.
We're waiting on Henry James,
Heaven surely knows your name.
God has watched you from the beginning,
Nothing happens by mistake.
I'm your Gigi, and forever,
You'll always have my heart to claim.
Little Henry James, our miracle,
We're so thankful that you came.
So keep on growing, little angel,
September's almost here.
There's a family standing ready...
Waiting with happy tears.
Waiting on Henry James.
