I Can't Make You Love Me
Darren Hayes and Anna-Maria Laspina Lyrics

When you take your first breath
From the moment you're born, you captured my heart.

You're gon' take mine away
Your arrival will steal my heart forever.

When you take your first step
I'll be there to witness and support every milestone.

I won't miss a thing
I'll never let anything important pass me by.

When those monsters in the closet
Even when you're scared or facing problems, I'll be there to save the day.

Won't let you sleep at night
When you're afraid or restless, I'll stay by your side.

I'll chase 'em right on out
I'll work hard to remove any obstacles you face and bring peace and calmness.

And make it all alright
I'll do anything to make sure you feel safe and secure.

'Cause I'm always gonna be
As your parent, I'll always be there for you no matter what.

The steady rock you need
I'm a reliable and supportive force in your life.

You're always gonna be
My child, you will always have a special place in my heart.

The best part of me
You are my greatest joy and accomplishment.

I can't wait to hear your laugh
I look forward to hearing the sound of your happiness and joy.

I can't wait to see your smile
Seeing your smile brings me immense joy.

I can't wait to look into your eyes
Your eyes reveal so much about you, and I cherish every moment I spend gazing into them.

And get lost for a little while
Being with you makes me forget about the rest of the world.

I can't wait to feel your hand
Holding your hand is a symbol of our unbreakable bond and love.

When it's holding on to mine
No matter what life brings, we'll face it together with our hands intertwined.

I can't wait for you to say my name
Hearing you say my name fills me with immense love and happiness.

It's gon' get me every time
Every time you say my name, my heart overflows with joy.

But out of all the things that I can't wait to do
There are so many things I look forward to sharing with you as your parent.

I can't wait to love you
Above everything else, I'm thrilled to love you and be a part of your life.

Like nobody's ever gonna love you
I'll love you more than anyone else ever could or will.

And for you to love me too
I hope you'll love me in return and feel the same joy and contentment I do.

I can't wait to see you dance
Watching you find joy and excitement in dancing brings me immense happiness.

While I'm playin' you a song
Playing music and dancing together is a special bond and connection we share.

I can't wait to hear that pretty voice
Hearing your voice is a reminder of your unique personality and the love I have for you.

When you sing along
Singing together is a special moment that forms unforgettable memories.

When you run into my open arms
I'll always be waiting with open arms to give you a warm embrace.

I'm gon' catch you every time
No matter what happens, I'll always be there to catch you and keep you safe.
