EIGHT MINUTES OLD

Written by Brian Henningsen (Sung by Brian)

You took my breath away
The first time I saw your face
It was a momentary glimpse of you
Just a pearl lost in a sea of frantic blue
They wouldn't let me hold you close
The feeling that I wanted most
The precious touch of your skin against my skin
That's how life should begin when you're only…

CHORUS:
Eight minutes old
And it's way too soon to say goodbye
One life on hold
And I want nothing more than to hear you cry

Oh I wish that we could start again 
Back to the morning when we first found out about you
To hear the beating of your heart and then
We knew right then we couldn't live without you
If there were some way that I could let you know
Every day you grew we were amazed at
How we loved you so though you're only…

CHORUS:
Eight minutes old
And a thousand desperate prayers ask why
One life on hold
And I want nothing more than to hear you cry
And I'd give anything just to hear you…

Cry for me when you're scared at night
You can sleep in between us and it will be alright
Baby you can grow up strong and you can live your life
But first you got to breathe…
And we held our breath and we cried…
When you cried it was like the angels sang

CHORUS:
Eight minutes old
And a million answered prayers
And no goodbyes, no goodbyes
One child to hold
And I thank God I got to hear you cry
I thank God I get to hear you cry
Thank you, Jesus
I thank God I get to hear you.
