Daddy I picked you before I was born
I looked down from the stars and I chose
Out of all the daddies you were the one
I wanted to be mine the one I'd hold close
She said this at bedtime serious and deep
Said Daddy I've got a secret to keep
She said before I was born I was up in the sky
Looking down at the daddies going by
And I saw you Daddy and I knew
That you were the one I wanted through and through
I'd been feeling so unwanted so unchosen so alone
That I forgot I was somebody's picked one someone's own
Daddy I picked you before I was born
I looked down from the stars and I chose
Out of all the daddies you were the one
I wanted to be mine the one I'd hold close
Then she said Daddy did you pick me too
I said baby before I even knew
You were coming I dreamed of you every night
I picked you before you were in sight
I said I picked your laugh I picked your eyes
I picked the way you'd be my surprise
And she smiled said I knew it I knew it was true
That we picked each other me and you
Daddy I picked you before I was born
I looked down from the stars and I chose
Out of all the daddies you were the one
I wanted to be mine the one I'd hold close
And I looked at her sleeping soon after
Thinking about picking about the laughter
Of the stars of the sky of the way it works
How two souls find each other in the quirks
EVERY day I wake up knowing I was chosen
Not by chance but by a love that's frozen
In time in space in the way we fit
She picked me I picked her and that's it
Daddy I picked you before I was born
I looked down from the stars and I chose
Out of all the daddies you were the one
I wanted to be mine the one I'd hold close
