Heartbeat Called JJ

The day they placed you in my arms;

That's where the whole room froze;

Me and your mama looked at each other;

Then we both just closed our roads;

′Cause you had my little grin;

You had my eyes so bright;

God let me see myself in you;

Wrapped up in a brand new light;

I remember riding down your mama's block;

Windows down, boys loud;

Calling out your name through the summer air;

Feeling way too proud;

And before I could blink, there you was;

Standing on that chair;

Lookin' through the window like you knew your daddy's voice was there;

They don't tell you how much your father cries when love gets too deep;

They only see the strength you wear, never the tears you keep;

But every smile

I gave you was a prayer

I learned to say;

And every night when the

Lord, You came to light my way;

You're still my heartbeat;

Even when we're worlds apart;

You're still the biggest piece of me;

You're still the anchor of my heart;

If I could rewind time;

I would hold you close and say;

No matter where life takes you;

You will always know your way;

First steps on the living room floor;

I was there to catch your fall;

Tiny hands in mine;

I felt ten feet tall;

Every straight up heat;

Every schoolyard dream;

I was chillin' in the silence;

Proud of every pain I'd seen;

They don't tell you how much a father cries when love gets too deep;

They only see the strength you wear;

Never the tears you keep;

But every smile I gave you;

Was a prayer I learned to say;

And never enough;

I thank you,

Lord, you came to light my way;

JJ, you're still my heartbeat;

Even when we're worlds apart;

You're still the biggest piece of me;

You're still the anchor of my heart;

If I could rewind time;

I will hold you close and say;

No matter where love takes you;

You will always know your way;

If I missed a moment,

I still felt it in my soul;

Every laugh, every lesson, every time

I watch you;

And if the world gets cold and heavy;

Let my words be your home;

′Cause you were born with love around you;

You were never on your own;

JJ, my son, my life;

You′ll always be mine;

No distance can erase;

What lives inside this place;

Ha, ha, ooh-ooh, JJ;

Ha, ha, ooh-ooh-ooh, JJ;

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, JJ;
