When I Pray For You

I talk to God about you
 And I ain't even met you yet
 Everybody's waitin' on you here
 I can't wait to feel your heart beat
 When I lay you on my chest
 I'm already holding back my tears
 I wanna be the dad that my dad was
 I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up
 I pray you love like your momma
 And you forgive just like she does
 'Cause when this life knocks you down
 I hope you get down on your knees
 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
 When I pray for you
 Oh, when I pray for you
 I know you're gonna grow up some day
 But don't forget to take your time
 And take the time to call back home
 It ain't always gonna be easy
 It ain't always gonna be fair
 I know you ain't always gonna need me
 But I promise that I'll always be there
 I pray you love like your momma
 And you forgive just like she does
 'Cause when this life knocks you down
 I hope you get down on your knees
 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
 When I pray for you
 Oh, when I pray for you
 I talk to God about you
 When everything around me breaks
 I look up and hear him say
 Love like your momma
 And forgive just like she does
 And when this life knocks you down
 I hope you get down on your knees
 'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
 When I pray for you
 When I pray for you
 When I pray for you
