He is a towheaded, skinned knees
Stubborn spitting image of me
Doesn’t understand the word no
Has to learn as he goes
But his heart is as big
As his little stretched out arms
And has the sweetest giggle
Telling you, I love you more

He’s gonna need a special kind of girl
That’s more than ribbons and curls
So I pray, Your Will be done
And you’ll send the one
That’s strong enough to share
The weight of the road ahead
Knows when to praise
The steps he takes
The voice of reason
Standing in his way…
Please keep watch over her today

He said he was walking out
She was walking in
The moment he saw her smile
He had to see her again
But this was no chance beginning
For the author of this story
Had pen to paper
Since the stars were formed

He’s gonna need a special kind of girl
More than ribbons and curls
So I pray, Your Will be done
You’ll send the one
That’s strong enough to share
The weight of the road ahead
Knows when to praise
The steps he takes
The voice of reason
Standing in his way…
Please keep watch over her today

Fill their hearts with a kind of love
That’s fire proof
A life way more better than worse
If they wander off course
Guide their steps back to you
Oh right back to you

He’s gonna need a special kind of girl
More than ribbons and curls
So I pray, Your Will be done
And you’ll send the one
That’s strong enough to share
The weight of the road ahead
Knows when to praise
The steps he takes
The voice of reason
Standing in his way…
Please keep watch over her today
Please keep watch over her today
