Hollens, Peter - Ashland's Song Lyrics






My ear upon her belly
I listen to the beat
So tiny and so precious
Can't wait until we meet
I'll hold you and protect you
With my entire being
How can a heart have grown so big
For such a little thing?

It's been the longest day
And one I won't forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

When the nurse first called me daddy
And handed you to me
The tears welled up in my eyes
I found it hard to see
The meeting I had waited for
Finally was here
And everything I couldn't say
Was captured in a tear

It's been the hardest day
And one I won't forget
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

The rhythm of the monitor
A slow and steady beat
The faintest glow
The lights are low
Your mother is asleep
My world is in this room
My world is just us three
There's no other place that I would rather be

So much I wanna give you
So much I wanna say
You've changed my life forever
And it's only been a day
I'll spend a lifetime loving you
Starting from day one
I can't believe you're finally here
My everything, my son

It's been the greatest day
And one I won't forget
It's been the greatest day
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met
The day that we first met

  59. P.... C....

    When I was adding songs by Peter to my Iphone a few years ago, my husband said to be sure to add this one, and was saying how much it meant to him. Now a few years later, a month after the birth of our 5th great grandchild, I was really listening to this, with my heart as well as my ears, and the tears sprang to my eyes. No wonder my husband loved it so much. Not only is it one of the most beautiful and genuine songs I have heard in a long time, it brings back the loving memories of the births of our children. Even though our oldest son is 50 years, this song brings the memories of his birth back as if it were only yesterday. After 3 children, 6 grandchildren, and now 5 great grandchildren the love story never gets old. And one of the greatest love stories is the love of a parent for his children, on through the generations.

  60. S.... K....

    It made me cry... It is so beautiful

  61. T.... R....

    Why isn't there a love button?????????? <3 <3 <3 This is so precious... THis made me cry.

  67. S.... ....

    Ok Peter, this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard! Truly a day you will never forget. I still can see my daughter as the Doctor laid her on my chest, on her belly. She immediately picked up her head & opened her beautiful blue eyes. She just turned 33 yesterday! Along the way she has given me 2 amazing grandsons. Enjoy, you have so much more to come!

    Ok, I'm a blubbering mess. My baby boy just turned 23! I had to chuckle when you were going home from the hospital. I remember leaving the hospital thinking; "I can't believe they're just letting us take him home. We don't have a clue as to what we're doing!" Congratulations!

  97. M.... V....

    it's beautiful
