Step by Step

Well, I wasn't there to see the first steps
 Or hear the first words
 Or watch the doctor bring them in
 And there's a lot of time I missed out on I'll never get back again
 Call it stepping up or stepping in
 But step by step my world went spinning
 Around that little heart and angel face
 They're growing up and I'm growing old
 Making memories we'll always hold
 But I thank God for sending them my way
 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
 But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life
 One day they'll have their first kiss
 Their first dance
 And their 'I turned 16 car'
 And I'll be right there when they walk in hurt from their first broken heart
 And I'm longing for those moments along with all the ones I missed
 I never knew this was how life would turn out
 But I'm sure glad it did
 Call it stepping up or stepping in
 But step by step my world went spinning
 Around that little heart and angel face
 They're growing up and I'm growing old
 Making memories we'll always hold
 But I thank God for sending them my way
 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
 But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life
 ♪
 One day they'll look back through all these years and I pray that they'll find
 That even though they didn't come from me
 They know that they're mine
 Call it stepping up or stepping in
 But step by step my world went spinning
 Around that little heart and angel face
 They're growing up and I'm growing old
 Making memories we'll always hold
 But I thank God for sending them my way
 'Cause it ain't my blood or DNA that made that precious child
 But it don't take rocket science to figure out that they're my life
