I Didn’t Know

On a quiet night by your side, I didn’t know
As I see the love shine from your eyes I didn’t know
How can I understand your little hand in mine
On a quiet night by your side I didn’t know

When they spoke to me of Heaven could I see
When they taught me of a father’s love did I believe
How could I see the love this little child would bring
When they spoke to me of Heaven could I see

I didn’t know the kind of life he’d have to live
I did not understand the gift this child would give
I did not know the kind of love that I could feel
I did not understand the miracle was real

So on a quiet night by your side
As I see the love shining from your eyes
Help me to understand this little hand in mine
On a quiet night by your side, now I know
