Lyrics: João Furlan da Silva Telles
Music: João Furlan da Silva Telles
The first time around I was counting the days
Reading every word like I’d lose my way
I was trying to be ready for the weight of it all
Trying to be the man I thought you’d want
You were steady, you were strong
Even when I didn’t know where I belonged
Then a little boy took my hand
And taught me how to understand
Now we’re standing here again
But something in me knows how this ends
If I’m quieter this time, don’t let it fool you
My heart’s just learned how to stay
I don’t love you less, I just love you truer
In a deeper, calmer way
And there’s a little girl on the way
I haven’t met her face to face
But every part of who I am
Is already hers, already hers
I can see her in the small details
In the way you smile, the way you care
In the kind of love that doesn’t rush
But never lets go
I used to think love was something loud
Something you had to prove out loud
Now I know it’s showing up
Even when nobody knows
I don’t have the answers like I thought I should
But I know this life is good
If I’m calmer this time, it’s just because
You showed me how to stand my ground
I love the woman, I love the mother
I love the family we’ve found
And there’s a little girl on the way
With your eyes, with your grace
She doesn’t know it yet
But my whole heart is already hers
Someday she’ll ask where she came from
What love’s supposed to look like
I’ll point to you and say, “Right there”
Every single time
And if you ever wonder where you stand
On the days you’re feeling tired or unsure
I hope you hear this song and know
I’m still choosing you, I always will
I won’t promise I’ll get it right
Or say I’ve figured it all out
But I’ll be here in the quiet moments
When the world slows down
And there’s a little girl on the way
Growing closer every day
I haven’t held her in my arms
But she’s already mine, already ours
Yeah, she’s already ours
