I ponder upon the waiting, what could I possibly do or say To keep you safe, to keep you laughing through the days To nurture within you, a sense of wrong, a sense of right Before the world will take your joy away And I'll name her song And one day, she'll sing along And some day, she'll cry and be lonely But the melody's just beginning I'll name her song Let me apologize in advance If it seems like I'm struggling or not listening, well, it's because I am And please, forgive me for when my failings manifest To do what's best, a question never laid to rest And I'll name her song And one day, I'll sing along And sometimes, I won't have the answers But maybe we'll learn them together I'll name her song There are parts, parts of you I will never understand For who you are and who you'll be Was never truly up to me So till I die, I'm going to try Forever staying by your side No 'mount of shame, to you, I claim Forgiveness calling you to change Because the wonder of time is captured in your eyes I'll name her song I'll name her song I'll name her song I'll name her song
