You tear out my heart with every little thing you do
And I take pride, I couldn't bear not letting you.
You showed me life in ways I never knew before
And if you were my own I couldn't love you more.
Sweet surprise
Is what you were and what you opened up in me.
Sweet surprise,
In you I saw the life I never thought I'd see.
You can be a handful and life can be a hassle
But it's nothing we can't handle
When we're building a sand castle together.
I was shadowed in doubt.
I thought my light was getting dim.
Life was losing luster while the dark was setting in.
Then you came along like a long-lost little spark went charging in.
I was growing old without, now I'm glowing from within.
Sweet surprise
Is what you were and what you opened up in me.
Sweet surprise,
In you I saw the light I never thought I'd see.
You can be a wild thing and life can be a forest
But it's nothing we can't cultivate
To build a tree house for us together.
You can be a singer and life can be a song
But I'm content to just lay back and clap my hands along
And when you reach the age when I must let you walk away
I hope to hold your hand for one more time that day.
Sweet surprise
Is what you were and what you opened up in me.
Sweet surprise,
In you I saw the life I always hoped I'd see.
Sweet surprise,
And every day you keep continuing to be
A sweet surprise.
You made a papa out of me.
