The way you look at me throws me for a loop
The miracle of life in your eyes
I wake up in the night to your familiar cry, hold you in my arms, your heart over mine
How long will this moment last, you're getting so big, so fast
Leaving this calendar in the past
Your little hands waving around and reaching out for everything
You're buzzing around like a bumblebee
But you'll grow strong and you'll fly high, you're gonna soar right over me
And give all you got for the one you take under your wing
Smile and try to hide the sadness deep inside
Standing on your own, trembling as you do
Oh, the tears we'll cry on the day we say goodbye
Leaving the days we knew behind
And though as cruel as it can be, the world can't do a thing to me
Wherever the wind blows, I'm there for you
So there we stand, hand in hand
Maybe we never had it planned, but there's someone out there to trust, watching over us
How long will this moment last, you're getting so big, so fast
Tell me what kind of dream we've cast?
Those little hands, they warm my heart, and they did so from the start
It's time that you let go, I'll be okay
But they will grow and then you'll fly, you're gonna soar into the sky
And give all you got for someone, just like you and I
