Lyrics
Sending You to Love Me
He's working late again.
Making her wait again.
He'll break their date again
But she don't mind.
The bills are piling up.
The baby's due next month.
He swears he'll make it up
To her next time.
Chorus
She just smiles, blows a kiss into the phone.
Says "Wake me up the minute you get home.
I love you so. And in case you didn't know.
I thank God up above me for sending you to love me".
He's working late again.
She hates to bother him.
But the kind of pain she's in
says it's almost time.
He says don't worry hon.
I'm already almost home.
To finally get to meet our son,
don't it blow your mind.
Chorus
Then he just smiles, blows a kiss into the phone.
Says "don't be scared, you'll never be alone.
I love you so. And in case you didn't know.
I thank God up above me for sending you to love me".
He's working late again.
Daddy calls to fill him in.
The doctors have done all they can
And it's time to go.
He hurries to her side.
Holds her hand and says, goodbye".
Bows his head and softly cries.
I'm gonna miss you so.
Chorus
And then she smiles, blows a kiss into the air.
Says "don't be scared, I'll always be right here.
I love you both. And in case you didn't know.
I thank God up above me for sending you to love me".
