[Verse 1]
Once I held you
Knew right then what I had to do
Heart said “step up, this is you”
I became a dad to you, my Bella Boo (yeah)
Tiny hands on my chest, I froze
World went quiet, then it all rose
All my scars, all my old roads
You rewrote ’em with your eyes closed
[Chorus]
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
I became a better man when I met you
It was mom and me
Then we made room for you
What a wave of emotions as we praise you
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
Every little breath feels brand new
You changed my path
To a loving view
Now my heart beats slow, just to sing to you (my Bella Boo)
[Verse 2]
Used to run from the love I’d get
Now I run to your crib just to watch you rest
Little kicks in the night, yeah, I feel that bless
Every worry that I carried, you made it less
It was mom and me on them hard days
Trying just to hold on through the dark phase
Then you came, little light in our hallway
Now we laugh ’til we cry on the long days (yeah)
[Chorus]
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
I became a better man when I met you
It was mom and me
Then we made room for you
What a wave of emotions as we praise you
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
Every little breath feels brand new
You changed my path
To a loving view
Now my heart beats slow, just to sing to you (my Bella Boo)
[Bridge]
When you’re scared, I’ll stay
When you’re tired, I’ll pray
When you dream, I’ll say
“You’re loved, you’re safe”
When you fall, I’ll wait
Pick you up, no shame
Every tear, every day
I’m your dad, I’ll stay (yeah)
[Chorus]
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
I became a better man when I met you
It was mom and me
Then we made room for you
What a wave of emotions as we praise you
Bella Boo, Bella Boo
Every little breath feels brand new
You changed my path
To a loving view
Now my heart beats slow, just to sing to you (my Bella Boo)
