What It Means To Be Love Lyrics - Come Alive - Mark Schultz

For five months and eight days my wife and I had waited 

Gettin' ready for our baby girl 

But when he called the doctor said I need to see you 

and could you come in soon 

then something died inside of me to sit with him and hear 

the tests that said our baby may not live to be a year 

then turnin' to my wife and he said "what do you wanna do?" 

and she said... 

I wanna give her the world 

I wanna hold her hand 

I wanna be her mom for as long as I can 

and I wanna live every moment until that day comes 

I wanna show her what it means to be loved 

so we spent each day, watchin' every minute 

and prayin' for our baby girl 

and I will not forget the way I felt that moment 

when she came into this world 

but they took her from the room just as soon as she was born 

and watchin' through a window I could see her holdin' on 

when a voice inside me said... 

I wanna give her the world 

I wanna be her dad 

I wanna hold her close for as long as I can 

and I wanna live every moment until that day comes 

I wanna show her what it means to be loved 

And ever since the day 

we got to bring her home 

she's been out to prove the doctors wrong 

oh and you should see her now 

she's as pretty as her mom 

and there's a boy at the front door waiting just to take her to her high school prom... 

and he wants to give her the world 

wants to hold her hand 

and someday she may get a wedding band 

but she's gunna live every moment until that day comes 

and we're gunna show her what it means to be loved 

Oh yeah (what it means to be loved) 

show her what it means to be loved 

what it means to be loved
