David Nail – Raising You Lyrics

Verse 1
I heard everybody say
It’s the hardest thing to do
To finally have a real idea
How much your folks love you.
Oh, but I never knew I’d fall
So head over heels
For somethin’ so small.

Baby, it’s in your eyes.
Reminds me of meeting your mama first time.
How quickly then, I fell.
How I didn’t care
If everybody could tell…

Chorus
Time will fly
So try and enjoy the ride.
I’m prayin’ worries are few.
I’ll do the best that I can do
Raisin’ raising raising you.

Verse 2
I know there are times
You and I will disagree.
But always know your best
Is all I ever hope you’ll be.
And no matter win or lose
I’ll always be there
Till my days are through.

Chorus
Time will fly
So try and enjoy the ride.
I’m prayin’ worries are few.
I’ll do the best that I can do
Raisin’ raising raising you.

Bridge
I’ll make mistakes
But I won’t lose faith
Someday will come
And I’ll give you a home.
Yeah I’ll give you a way.

Chorus
Time will fly
So try and enjoy the ride.
I’m prayin’ worries are few.
I’ll do the best that I can do
Raisin’ raising raising you.
Raisin’ you.
Do the best that I can do
Raisin’ you
Raising raising raising you.


Song Meaning & Review

I love how this song shows the love of a man who'd just become a father. How he knows that there will be ups and downs in raising her.

How he knows that there will be times one day when they would disagree and have differences. But he would always do his best in raising her.

The artist describes how her eyes remind him of how he met her mother for the first time. He never knew that he'd fall head over heels for something so small, his daughter.
