You Grow Up

Oh… My little light… You grew up in the blink of my eyes Like a flower reaching sunlight Running wild with your fearless smile Turning every dark to bright You used to paint the world with colors Tiny hands and endless dreams Now the fire inside your heart Shines stronger than it seems And every time I look at you Standing taller than before I still see that little girl Running barefoot on the floor You grew up… now your eyes Are chasing stars across the sky And your heart keeps getting bigger With every dream you hold inside You grew up… my shining light The sweetest part of all my life And no matter where this world may lead You’ll always be my child to me Now you dance around the room Singing songs all night long Talking ‘bout tomorrow Like you already know where you belong You used to show me every flower Like you discovered spring Now you’re building bigger dreams Than I could ever dream Sometimes I’m scared the years will take you Far away into the blue But deep inside my heart I know A part of me will live in you You grew up… and found your own Beautiful road to follow But even when the years go by You’ll still be my tomorrow You grew up… my little light The reason that my world still shines And even when this life moves on You’ll always be this heart of mine Oh… My little light…
