For a Little While. Sarah Hart
Her eyes will see a million wonders I can not imagine.
But here and now, I only want them to look into mine
I have no words, no song to sing that could do justice to her
Wishing this sacred night could freeze in time
Just so I could hold the world
And I could be her world for a little while
I know her heart will find the joy of love,
The sting of breaking
And in the stillness, in it’s keeping perfect time with mine
I pray that someday she would never see the face of sorrow
Knowing someday she will, but not tonight
Not while I can hold the world
And I can be her world for a little while
I admit I never understood the love of God for me
Confessing I had hoped for it, but never quite believed
And in this tiny life came all the revelation that I need
I never knew His love, until I knew this love
My arms are strong, but they don’t have the strength to let her go yet
A few more minutes, one more whisper, one last quiet kiss
I lay her down, I take a photograph inside my head
One day I’ll struggle to remember this
There’s just so little time
Just too little of this life
And she is only mine, for a little while
