Only the Best

Verse 1
The maternity ward?s on the seventh floor, the nursery?s down the hall.
There?s a baby in the 2nd row, the one closest to the wall.
His mother?s got it figured out, as close as she can get.
Starting now from here on out, he?ll have only the best.

Verse 2
There were three weeks left in her junior year when she she began to show.
Her prom dress never left her room, she didn?t want no one to know.
She?s still a kid herself; hasn?t lived her own life yet.
So she?s gonna let him go so he?ll have only the best.

Bridge
And at that very moment a couple waits on pins and needles
For the call that?s gonna make their house a home.
They?ll love that baby boy like no other child?s been loved.
It?s a gift, he?s a miracle from a girl they hardly know.

Verse 3
So the years go by in the blink of an eye.
The little boy has grown.
He knows the story of the young girl from 20 years ago.
He knows her name, that she was brave, he knows that he?s been blessed.
And if he met her now, he?d let her know she gave him only the best.
A loving family and happiness.
She gave him only the best.
