On The Way – Curtis Douglas



Lyrics:

It’s 2 am and I can’t sleep
You’ve been on my mind for weeks
I just toss and turn for hours
Rustle underneath the sheets
If I really think about it
It gets hard for me to breathe
I just wonder if I’m ready
Am I everything you need?

Cause one day soon
You’ll be here inside this room
And I’ll lie awake with you 
Like my parents used to do
And if you can’t sleep 
Just know I have trouble too 
But it’s been much better since 
Your mom told me the news 
You’re on the way

Will you have my hands and feet?
I hope you get your mother’s smile
Will we listen to the classics?
Will we scream “Born to Be Wild?”
Boy, when you get older
Yeah, I’ll be your biggest fan
You can come to me whenever
Promise I won’t get mad

Cause one day soon
You’ll be here inside this room
And I’ll lie awake with you 
Like my parents used to do
And if you can’t sleep 
Just know I have trouble too 
But it’s been much better since 
Your mom told me the news 
You’re on the way

Hey buddy, I know you’re not here yet, but you’re going to be here soon, and trust me we’re ready for you.  Just promise me this, always be nice to your mother and try not to grow up too fast. 

And one day soon 
You’ll be out there on your own
Just don’t forget 
With me you always have a home 

And if you can’t sleep 
Just know I have trouble too 
But it’s been much better since 
Your mom told me the news 
You’re on the way
