When I Pray for You

I talk to God about you And I ain't even met you yet Everybody's waitin' on you here I can't wait to feel your heart beat When I lay you on my chest I'm already holding back my tears I wanna be the dad that my dad was I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up I pray you love like your momma And you forgive just like she does 'Cause when this life knocks you down I hope you get down on your knees 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you Oh, when I pray for you I know you're gonna grow up some day But don't forget to take your time And take the time to call back home It ain't always gonna be easy It ain't always gonna be fair I know you ain't always gonna need me But I promise that I'll always be there I pray you love like your momma And you forgive just like she does 'Cause when this life knocks you down I hope you get down on your knees 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you Oh, when I pray for you I talk to God about you When everything around me breaks I look up and hear him say Love like your momma And forgive just like she does And when this life knocks you down I hope you get down on your knees 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do When I pray for you When I pray for you When I pray for you --- When I Pray For You - Dan + Shay
