Verse 1:
I’ve always known that,
We can’t keep you from growing up,
I won’t stop trying,
But I’m probably out of luck.

Still I’ll be your protector,
When the world isn’t kind,
At every step I will be there,
To show you that you’ll always be mine.

Chorus:
I’m here with you now,
Can I hold you forever?
God, can you slow time down?
To take in the moments we’ll remember.

Verse 2:
I see echoes of myself,
From your hair to the games you play,
Every time you open your mouth,
I know just what you’re going to say.

But you still surprise me,
With a clever joke or tender thought,
You’d ask if this feels like the best dream,
I’d say more often than not.
