The moment

🎵 Title: “If I Could Hold Time”

(A soulful apology from a parent to their children)

Verse 1

If I could hold time in the palm of my hand

I’d go back and show you, just how much I had planned

To love you with grace, to guide every step

But I fumbled the pieces while trying my best

Pre-Chorus

You deserved more than the storms you had to see

You deserved calm, you deserved all of me

Chorus

So I’m sorry for the moments I wasn’t enough

For the silence that hurt, or the times it got rough

But my love never wavered, not for a day

Even when I had no perfect words to say

I’m here now, with a heart that is true

Every beat of it whispers: I love you

Verse 2

Sometimes our scars come from battles we hide

And I tried to protect you, but still let things slide

I was healing and learning, but that’s no excuse

You were my reason, not something to lose

Bridge

If tears could fix every wrong I regret

You’d never have cried, not one drop, not one yet

But I’ll spend every moment from this day on

Showing the love that was there all along

Chorus (Repeat)

So I’m sorry for the moments I wasn’t enough

For the silence that hurt, or the times it got rough

But my love never wavered, not for a day

Even when I had no perfect words to say

I’m here now, with a heart that is true

Every beat of it whispers: I love you

Outro

You’re the best part of every breath that I take

A love like yours, I could never remake

So I’m holding your heart with both hands this time

And I’m loving you forward — soul, tears, and rhyme
