Hold out your little hand
Open up your little eyes
Daddy is waiting here
To comfort all your newborn cries
A little smile upon your face
Looking up in sweet surprise
Daddy is waiting here
God knows he tries and tries
Looking at you
Makes me want to get older
Makes me want to shout it out
It makes me want to shout
Looking at you
Little head on my shoulder
Now that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about
Lying there so cosy warm
While the winter tempest blows
Daddy is waiting here
To tell you everything he knows
We will laugh and we will cry
For nothing is the way it seems
Daddy is waiting here
To help you through your newfound dreams
Looking at you
Makes me want to get older
Makes me want to shout it out
It makes me want to shout
Looking at you
Little head on my shoulder
Now that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about
There is no way to know
What brings the summer breeze
The tide of time will take us
She wants to please
So hold out your little hand
Open up your little eyes
Daddy is waiting here
And God knows he tries and tries
Looking at you
Makes me want to get older
Makes me want to shout it out
It makes me want to shout
Looking at you
Little head on my shoulder
Now that's what it's all about
That's what it's all about
