Am Yours Lyrics

[Intro]
How do I even start?
Like, where do you start this?
I don't know


[Verse]
I'm only starting to understand it
I apologize if I'm running late
But it's so easy to miss the magic
When you're seeing it every day
And if I ever took that for granted
Well the hard times caught me out
Because we got it down, no matter how
You held it down, how'd you do that?
'Cause you're the warmth in my embrace
And you're the heart that got my heart beating
And I don't know your ways
I'm just thankful I'm there to see them
And I don't know how you're so amazing
And I'll probably never understand
So I wrote this song
To let you know how proud I am of you
And, Mum, I hope you know it's all us, you're beyond compare
I could lay my whole soul bare
Long as you're right there, I know I'm in luck and I love you so much
Tell you all the time, but sometimes
All the time still don't seem like it's enough
, no, I am here forever
I am here forever, I am here forever
I am yours forever, I am yours
Haven't heard dad cry more
Than a handful of times in my life
So that tearful phone call where we both broke down
Still burns right hot in my mind
Long nights, scared sleepless
Through your hospital stays where our whole world fell apart
You never blinked, just let it pass
I'll never ask you, how'd you do that?
'Cause I don't even need the answer
It's just a miracle's work I guess
How you stare in the face of cancer
Fight it and never once lose your breath
And for the rest of my days I'm awestruck
And for them all I won't ever forget
That you are still the most beautiful
And you didn't need a hair on your head

[Outro]
How'd you do that?
How'd you do that?
How'd you do that?
How'd you do that?
And this is all for you
I am here forever
I am here forever
I am here forever
I am yours forever
I am yours
