Verse 1

Still hear echoes of little feet on the floor

With pictures of childhood taped to the door

Time gone by, too quickly it passed

I wish there was a way I could get it all back

These days there’s a crib where my desk once stood

And the future feels a little more like it should

She’s got my heart in her little hands

A brand new start God must have planned

Friendship and a family, memories I own

The very best things in life that I’ve ever known

Chorus

We’ve walked through years of laughter and tears

Built a life out of dreams and silent prayers

From baby shoes to baseball through graduation day

Found strength in each other and carved our own way

Now there’s a new light shinin’ bright in my eyes

An angel from Heaven, a prayer realized

She’s got her mama’s smile and her daddy’s heart

Granddaughter stole mine right from the start

That wheel keeps turnin’ and the winds keep blowin’

But the joy in those eyes helps keep me goin’

This journey’s been long but never alone

With love in my heart, I’m halfway home

Verse 2

That new baby girl was a blessing for me

Through her eyes I could see things I’d never seen

Started looking forward instead of behind

Cause no good comes being stuck on rewind

Now the clock don’t race like it did before

I find more peace just fishin’ from shore

A family’s a seed and needs help to grow

No father is prouder of the children he sowed

They’ve helped this man so much more than they know

Through the hardest times, they never let go

Chorus

We’ve walked through years of laughter and tears

Built a life out of dreams and silent prayers

From baby shoes to baseball through graduation day

Found strength in each other and carved our own way

Now there’s a new light shinin’ bright in my eyes

An angel from Heaven, a prayer realized

She’s got her mama’s smile and her daddy’s heart

Granddaughter stole mine right from the start

That wheel keeps turnin’ and the winds keep blowin’

But the joy in those eyes helps keep me goin’

This journey’s been long but never alone

With love in my heart, I’m halfway home

Bridge

She don’t need words to brighten my world

Just takes a laugh from that baby girl

The world feels new like spring in the air

Her innocence and youth with me she shares

Her tiny steps will walk their own path one day

Till then I’ll be with her every step of the way

This road’s been rough, the miles long

But everyone has to write their own song

That family of mine is the best line I’ve known

They’re the light on the porch guiding me home

Chorus

We’ve walked through years of laughter and tears

Built a life out of dreams and silent prayers

From baby shoes to baseball through graduation day

Found strength in each other and carved our own way

Now there’s a new light shinin’ bright in my eyes

An angel from Heaven, a prayer realized

She’s got her mama’s smile and her daddy’s heart

Granddaughter stole mine right from the start

That wheel keeps turnin’ and the winds keep blowin’

But the joy in those eyes helps keep me goin’

This journey’s been long but never alone

With love in my heart, I’m halfway home

Outro

Now the porch light’s low and the stars all shine

This old heart’s resting, feeling just fine

I’ve given my all, now I get to stay

And watch new dreams find their way

With faith in tomorrow and love I’ve known

I’m not done yet, just halfway home
