The volunteer behind the desk said Son you better get some rest Theres plenty of these sleepless nights to come Im guessing this must be your first You say its gonna be a girl Your in trouble son Two against one But that first time that you hear her cry It will all become so clear Dreams aren't just for holdin They are somthin you can hear Its the first steps that she takes The first time you hear her say I love you daddy man it takes your breath away Yellow bus on her first day Singing in that christmas play Jumping in the leaves that you just raked Thats the sound a dream makes He walked out from behind the desk Straightened up his cotten vest Pulled his wallet out as he sat down Took a picture out and smiled said This one heres my first grandchild She likes to ride around With grandpa into town Just when you think a quiet house Is where the story ends Your baby has a baby and the dream begins again Its that knee shes gonna scrape Tears rollin down her face and she'll say grandpa Can you make it be okay When her laughter gives away Her favorite hiding place The first prayer that you ever hear her pray Thats the sound a dream makes Oh when her laughter gives away her favorite hiding place The first time you ever hear her pray Thats the sound a dream makes
