Verse 1:
G          D                    A              Bm
 For five months eight days my wife and I had waited
G               D            A
 Gettin' ready for our baby girl
G             D                 A              Bm
 But when he called the doctor said I need to see you
Em                   A
 And could you come in soon
     Bm                              G
Then something died inside of me to sit with him and hear
    Bm                   D            G
The tests that said our baby may not live to be a year
Em                       G
 And turning to my wife he said "What do you wanna do?"
A

 And she said...


Chorus 1:
         D            Em             G        A
I wanna give her the world, I wanna hold her hand
         D      Em         G         A
I wanna be her mom for as long as I can
            Bm          A       D             G
And I wanna live every moment until that day comes
                          A           D    G
I wanna show her what it means to be loved


Verse 2:
G        D             A               Bm
 So we spent each day, watchin' every minute
G             D            A
 And prayin' for our baby girl
G            D              A              Bm7
 And I will not forget the way I felt that moment
Em7                   A
 When she came into this world
          Bm                             G
But they took her from the room just as soon as she was born
     Bm                 A              G              D
And watchin' through a window I could see her holdin' on
Em                    G
 When a voice inside me said . . .


Chorus 2:
         D            Em             G      A
I wanna give her the world, I wanna be her dad
         D         Em          G         A
I wanna hold her close for as long as I can
            Bm          A       D             G
And I wanna live every moment until that day comes
                          A           D
I wanna show her what it means to be loved


Bridge:
G                     A
Ever since the day we got to bring her home
  D                             G
She's been out to prove the doctors wrong
G                                       A
Oh and you should see her now, she's as pretty as her mom
             G                                              A
And theres a boy at the front door waiting just to take her to her high school prom . . .


End Chorus:
                 D            Em              G        A
And he wants to give her the world, wants to hold her hand
         D       Em        G       A
And someday she may get a wedding band
                Bm          A       D             G
But she's gonna live every moment until that day comes
                                  A           D
And we're gonna show her what it means to be loved
G
 Oh yeah (what it means to be loved)
                              D
Show her what it means to be loved
                     G
What it means to be loved
