Emily's Song
(She Has Big Plans For Me)
I struggle with my demons just like the next man,
And many times I know I haven’t done the best I can.
But there’s one who won’t allow my mediocrity,
Or anything but my best, she has big plans for me.
She thinks beneath my old work clothes, I’m like Clark Kent.
She’s sure I know at least as much as the President,
She slays me with her effortless sincerity,
The sparkle in her eyes takes the breath from me.
Chorus:
Just about the time I know I’m bound to fall,
I can simply hear her laughter and I’m the richest man of all.
Just when the world has left me flailing aimlessly…
Casually, but hopefully, she’ll say, “Daddy, please, will you play with me?”
And my troubles flee, she sets me free, she has big plans for me
V.
In her innocence, she thinks that I can do no wrong,
She pretends to not be bored when I sing my old songs
I sure wanna be the Daddy she needs me to be
She’ll surely be my salvation…or the death of me.
I know I only have one chance to get this right,
I thank the Lord for her Momma each and every night,
I pray that He will gird us with His awesome might
And help us lead our baby safely to the Light.
Chorus:
Just about the time I know I’m bound to fall,
I can simply hear her laughter and I’m the richest man of all.
Just when the world has left me flailing aimlessly,
Honestly…and faithfully, she’ll say, “Daddy please, will you pray with me?”
And she crushes me, my Emily, she has big plans for me.
