When I was small Id stand up tall

Drawing pictures on the wall

Read a book, ride a bike
D
Every little step I take

Hoping they would watch and say youre great

Oh were always reaching out

Looking for a little proud

Heart so full, eyes so wide

From the start until the end

We all need someone to commend

The circle turns, the seasons fly

And we all learn to impress and try

Now Im grown, kids of mine

Watching them I see the signs

Tiny hands that want to show

But what they dont quite realize,

They impress me just by being mine.
