I Counted Every Tiny Finger lyrics
One two three four fiveI counted every tiny finger on your left handSix seven eight nine tenI did the same thing on your rightAnd then I started over just to make sureJust to keep my hands touching yoursJust to have a reason to hold onThey say you count to make sure everything's okayBut I counted because letting go was hardI counted every tiny fingerI counted every tiny toeI counted every perfect little piece of youBecause I couldn't bear to let you goThe nurses smiled like they had seen it all beforeBut I was somewhere they had never beenI counted every tiny fingerAnd fell in love with everything you'd ever beI studied every fold of every knuckleI traced the crease across your tiny palmI memorized the moon shapes on your fingersLike maps to somewhere I would always call homeYou were so complete and I was just arrivingAt everything this life was going to meanI counted every tiny fingerI counted every tiny toeI counted every perfect little piece of youBecause I couldn't bear to let you goThe nurses smiled like they had seen it all beforeBut I was somewhere they had never beenI counted every tiny fingerAnd fell in love with everything you'd ever beNow your hands are bigger than my memory of themNow they reach for things I cannot give youBut I still sometimes look at them and seeThe ten perfect reasons I became a parentTen fingersTen toesAnd all of my heart
