When I Pray For You Lyrics - Dan + Shay

I talk to God about you 

and I ain't even met you yet 

everybody's waiting on you here 

I can't wait to feel your heart beat 

when I lay you on my chest 

I'm already holding back my tears 

I wanna be the dad that my dad was 

I hope that I dont mess this whole thing up 

I pray you love like your momma 

and you forgive just like she does 

and when this life knocks you down 

I hope you get down on your knees 

bc thats what I do, thats what I do 

when I pray for you

I know you're gonna grow up some day 

but don't forget to take your time 

and take the time to call back home 

it ain't always gonna be easy 

it ain't always gonna be fair 

I know you aint always gonna need me 

but I promise that I'll always be there 

I pray you love like your momma 

and you forgive just like she does 

and when this life knocks you down 

i hope you get down on your knees 

bc thats what I do, thats what I do 

when I pray for you 

I talk to God about you 

when everything around me breaks 

I look up and hear him say 

love like your momma 

and forgive just like she does 

and when this life knocks you down 

I hope you get down on your knees 

bc thats what I do, thats what I do 

when I pray for you 

when I pray for you 

when I pray for you
