Dave Herring - The Death of Me Lyrics

If I'm honest, I was happy with just a little boy
Because the truth is that I never thought I'd be
A brand new dad to any, surprised by all the joy
And a new branch growing on the family tree

Then I heard the news
That my one had become two
And instinctively I knew
What I was going to lose

I know you will be the death of me
Here's to all the nights I have ahead with no more sleep
No more cash or credit, no more time that's free
Baby you will be the death of me
Baby you will be the death of me

If I'm honest, when I found out you were a little girl
A fear crept in I've never known before
In an instant you've become the center of my world
And the man I've known has ceased to be no more

I have no more hope
I'll be lifeless on a rope
A D.N.R. on my note
Put the tag on my toe

I know you will be the death of me
Here's to watching you grow up while crying quietly
Playing with Barbies, making time for tea
Baby you will be the death of me

You'll probably look something like your mom
And honestly that makes this even harder
'Cause I already know how to say I'm wrong
So I already know how to have a daughter

If I'm honest as a parent, you already know
That it takes so much to lay down your life
But if you lay it down, you find it, or so I've been told
So I'll lay mine down as I kiss your head tonight

I guess it's not so hard
If you just let down your guard
When you see the life you start
When you make a beating heart

I know you will be the death of me
Because of you I'll walk into the greatest mystery
You are my angel, tonight I'll rest In peace
Baby you will be the death of me
Baby you will be the death of me
