I Never Knew

I Never Knew

I never knew what it was like to have a sleepless night

Or how it felt for little arms to wrap around me so tight

I never knew how butterflies could make me laugh so hard

Until I watched you chasing one, round and round in the yard

I never knew that I could see myself in some else's eyes

Or how my heart could break from a simple little cry

I never had to mop the floor, when someone took a bath

Or knew you could turn a bar of soap into a bubble raft

I never knew how  fun it was to wake early to watch cartoons

Or how cute it was to hear someone say goodnight to the moon

I never knew how hard it was, to wipe crayon off the wall

Or how I would try so hard to catch you when you'd fall

I never knew Christmas morning, could make for memories

Or how fun it was to string popcorn around a Christmas tree

I never thought I'd know every word, to every Disney song

Or how funny it was to listen to a child that sang along

I never knew I could smile, just watching someone sleep

Or how thankful I could be, for the memories I keep

There's so much I didn't know, so much I never knew

But I know I'm truly blessed now, all because of you
