Mark Lacek wrote the original poem that inspired the song after the death of his daughter who died in the womb.  Just two weeks before her due date, Mark and Susan Lacek's first child, Faith, died in the womb when the umbilical cord became tightly wound around her body.

I'll never get to hold you
I'll never hear your sweet voice sing
I'll never get to say "I told you so"
I'll never read to you or get to teach you anything

But you'll always be my hope
You'll always be my first light
You're always gonna be daddy's little girl
You'll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day

I'm gonna miss your first day of school
I'll never see you turn that page
I'll never see you in your graduation gown
And I'm never gonna see you coming of age

But you'll always be my hope
You'll always be my first light
You're always gonna be mommy's little girl
You'll always be the strength I need to make it in this world
I only wish for one more day

Sweet angel of mercy
Coming down to comfort me
Faith sit right here beside me
I never want you to go away

I'm always gonna wonder how you'd look
Always gonna wish I took your place up there

You'll always be our hope
You'll always be our first light
You're always gonna be our little girl
You'll always be the strength we need to make it in this world
We only wish for one more day

We only wish for one more day
