I’ll Name Her Song

[Verse 1]
I ponder upon the waiting, what could I possibly do or say
To keep you safe, to keep you laughing through the days
To nurture within you, a sense of wrong, a sense of right
Before the world will take your joy away

[Chorus]
And I'll name her song
And one day, she'll sing along
And some day, she'll cry and be lonely
But the melody's just beginning
I'll name her song

[Verse 2]
Let me apologize in advance
If it seems like I'm struggling or not listening, well, it's because I am
And please, forgive me for when my failings manifest
To do what's "best", a question never laid to rest

[Chorus]
And I'll name her song
And one day, I'll sing along
And sometimes, I won't have the answers
But maybe we'll learn them together
I'll name her song

[Bridge]
There are parts, parts of you
I will never understand
For who you are and who you'll be
Was never truly up to me

So 'till I die, I'm going to try
Forever staying by your side
No 'mount of shame, to you, I claim
Forgiveness calling you to change

Because the wonder of time is captured in your eyes

[Outro]
I'll name her song
I'll name her song
I'll name her song
I'll name her song
