Joy Takes a Little While

You and me sat on the corner
Of our bed where we first made love
Prayed for a moment
Yeah- we're needing some help from above
It's been two years waiting
Trying hard to make a child
The doctor he told us
"You know there's one more thing we could try"
When you're wanting a miracle
It gets harder to smile
Oh, sometimes joy takes a little while
Two surgeries later
On the 4th floor of St Mary's ward
She's crying in my arms
This 7 pound newborn
I look at her mama
With the proudest eyes in the world
She starts to sing
"Happy Birthday" to our little girl
When you're holding a miracle
Yeah- it's hard not to smile
Oh- sometimes joy takes a little while
If you're needing a miracle
And your heart's on the line
Hold on, joy takes a little while
If you're walking in darkness
And all you want is for that sun to rise
Hold on, joy takes a little while
