Mark Wills › Lyrics › In My Arms

Three a.m on the clock lullaby, music box
Baby please don't cry let's let mama sleep tonight
You've only been home one day you don't even know your name
Tiny hand on my cheek you're a miracle to me
In the stillness of the night cradled in this rocking chair
I hold all my hopes and dreams every single answered prayer

In my arms wish I can hold you forever
In my arms I will give you shelter
Still I know I can't always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There'll always be a place for you in my arms

As I watch you take each breath it scares me to death
To know you're counting on me, to be the daddy that you need
Wounded knees and broken hearts learning how to drive a car
When it's time for your first date, will I know just what to say?
When you find that one true love I'll put on my best smile
And I'll try to hide my tears as I walk you down the aisle

In my arms wish I can hold you forever
In my arms I will give you shelter
Still I know I can't always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There'll always be a place for you

In my arms wish I can hold you forever
In my arms I will give you shelter
Still I know I can't always be there
To protect you from this great big old world
But I swear this much is true
There'll always be a place for you in my arms
This promise I will keep as you finally fall asleep in my arms
