Verse 1
The day you came into this world
I held you close and cried
Something changed inside my heart
The moment I looked in your eyes
I’d always dreamed of being a dad
But dreams don’t come close to the truth
Because from the very first breath you took
My whole world became you
(Pre-Chorus)
Tiny hands learning how to hold on
Little feet learning how to fly
And somehow the years kept moving
While I blinked and watched life go by
Chorus
There’s no greater purpose in this life
Than watching your children grow
Through every laugh, every tear
Every road you choose to go
And I could never ask for more
Than the love you’ve given me
Olivia and Jessica
You became the best parts of me
Kind hearts
Strong minds
Beautiful souls that shine
And no matter where this life may lead
You’ll always be my greatest pride
Verse 2
Learning bikes and family trips
Rotorua memories
Surfers Paradise summers
Laughing wild and free
Then suddenly you were young women
Standing stronger on your own
Finding courage in this world
Travelling places far from home
You became strong independent women
Who know exactly what you deserve
Never settling for less than respect
Knowing your own worth
Pre-Chorus
And now we sit in cafés talking
Like old friends who understand
And I still see those little girls
Whenever you reach for my hand
Chorus
There’s no greater purpose in this life
Than watching your children grow
Through every laugh, every tear
Every road you choose to go
And I could never ask for more
Than the love you’ve given me
Olivia and Jessica
You became the best parts of me
Kind hearts
Strong minds
Beautiful souls that shine
And no matter where this life may lead
You’ll always be my greatest pride
Bridge
Maybe weddings
Maybe children
Maybe dreams not yet begun
Or maybe life will take you somewhere
Different from what I once thought of
But whatever makes your heart feel full
Whatever path you choose
I’ll stand beside you every time
There’s nothing you could do
That would stop me loving you
Final Chorus
There’s no greater purpose in this life
And now I finally know
The greatest gift I’ve ever had
Was getting to watch you grow
And if I did one thing right
If I leave nothing else behind
It’s knowing I raised two daughters
Who are compassionate and kind
So chase your lives
And chase your dreams
Become all you want to be
And wherever this world may take you
You’ll always mean the world to me
Olivia… Jessica…
Thank you for giving my life its meaning
