[Verse 1]

Lost my breath when I

Saw you take your first

My whole world stopped like that

And I hate to cry inside

But I just saw you rise

Words just can't describe what I see

You look just like me, yeah


[Chorus]

You're gonna think I hung the moon

You're gonna think I made the sky

That the sun rises

And sets inside of my eyes

And it won't be long

'Til I hear, "Daddy's home" and

Footsteps running to

The man that hung the moon


[Verse 2]

And I already know

You'll probably be a Mama's boy

It worked out fine for your dad

I hope I'm still your hero

'Cause I already love you more than

Even I understand


[Chorus]

You're gonna think I hung the moon

And that I made the sky

That the sun rises

And sets inside of my eyes

And it won't be long

'Til I hear, "Daddy's home" and

Footsteps running to

The man that hung the moon

Oh yeah


[Bridge]

And one day you'll realize

I've lost my cape, I can't fly

And I'm only human

And you'll need more than me

You know to hit your knees

If I've done my job right

You'll know where to find


[Chorus]

The man who really hung the moon

Who really made the sky

Yeah, the sun rises

And sets inside of his eyes

And it won't be long

Until he calls us home

And we'll all be running to

The man that hung the moon

Oh, oh

Oh yeah


[Outro]

No matter what

No matter where I am

Just know I love you

With all I am

Me and your Mama both
