Your little hand in mine

(Verse 1)  
Late night starin' at your sleeping face,  
Moonlight paintin' shadows 'cross your bed.  
Tiny fingers curled around my thumb,  
World stops spinnin' when you're this close, kid.  

Those little feet kickin' under the sheet,  
I pull the blanket up, hold my breath.  
Every quiet breath you take right now  
Feels like the best damn thing I've got left.

(Pre-Chorus)  
One day you'll run, you'll fall, you'll fight,  
But tonight you're still my whole damn life.

(Chorus)  
Your little hand in mine,  
That's the only crown I'll ever wear.  
If the whole world burns down tomorrow,  
I'll still find you standin' there.  
Boy, you're my comin' home, my fight, my fire,  
My reason every mornin' to rise higher.  
Your little hand in mine…  
Yeah, your little hand in mine.

(Verse 2)  
I see me in your grin, your mama in your eyes,  
Pray the road don't get too rough on you.  
I'll teach you how to throw a punch, say sorry right,  
And hold on tight when the hard times come through.  

When you're grown and callin' shots on your own,  
I'll be the voice in the back of your mind.  
Remindin' you you're never really alone,  
'Cause this love don't fade with time.

(Pre-Chorus)  
One day you'll chase dreams bigger than mine,  
But you'll always carry a piece of this heart of mine.

(Chorus)  
Your little hand in mine,  
That's the only crown I'll ever wear.  
If the whole world burns down tomorrow,  
I'll still find you standin' there.  
Boy, you're my comin' home, my fight, my fire,  
My reason every mornin' to rise higher.  
Your little hand in mine…  
Oh, your little hand in mine.

(Bridge)  
And if the years turn me gray and slow,  
You'll ask if it was worth it all…  
I'll take that same hand, now calloused and strong,  
And say, "Son, look… still feels like home."  
Still feels like home.

(Final Chorus)  
Your little hand in mine…  
(Your little hand)  
That's the only crown I'll ever wear.  
If the whole world burns down tomorrow,  
I'll still find you standin' there.  
Boy, you're my comin' home, my fight, my fire…  
Your little hand in mine…  
Yeah, your little hand in mine…  
Forever, your little hand in mine.
