Linhy - Just a Heartbeat Away Lyrics

I held you close on your very first day,
Time moved slow in that gentle way,
Your tiny hands and sleepy eyes,
A moment so brief, like a quiet sunrise.

Just a heartbeat away, it feels like you'll stay,
But the years slip by, in the blink of a day,
Every step you take, a little further you go,
Growing up faster than I ever thought so.

First words spoken, first steps made,
Tiny moments that won't ever fade,
Each milestone hits like a sweet, sad song,
I blink, and it's gone, you're moving along.

Just a heartbeat away, it feels like you'll stay,
But the years slip by, in the blink of a day,
Every step you take, a little further you go,
Growing up faster than I ever thought so.

I see glimpses of you, who you'll one day be,
A beautiful soul, wild and free,
But I hold tight to these fleeting years,
Laughs and whispers, joy and tears.

Just a heartbeat away, it feels like you'll stay,
But the years slip by, in the blink of a day,
Every step you take, a little further you go,
Growing up faster than I ever thought so.

So I'll treasure the now, the smiles, the play,
Keep them close, come what may,
'Cause you're just a heartbeat, just a heartbeat away,
Forever my child, but growing each day.
