I watched you grow up

(hummmm) Tiny shoes

resting by the door

Now you don't wear them anymore

Running through

the

summer rain

I watch the seasons turn again

I watched you grow up,

reaching for the stars

From scraped-up knees to driving cars

Every single step,

every little stage

I watched you write your very first page (ooh)

Paper drawings

taped on the wall

Funny how the time makes us look small

Now you're packing

up your heavy bags

Leaving all the old worn-out tags (ahhhh)

I watched you grow up,

reaching for the stars

From scraped-up knees to driving cars

Every single step,

every little stage

I watched you write your very first page (yeah)

And the world is so big,

the road is so wide

But I will always be right by your side

Go on and fly

I watched you grow

My beautiful child (hummmm)
