How many times have I watched you sleep?
Hoping the dreams you dreamed were sweet…
Loving you more with every breath that you would take
Now every line on our kitchen door
Climbs higher than the year before
And I put another candle on your birthday cake
I want you to know that I have been blessed to see you grow
Into the one that you’ve become from crawl to stand and walk to run
You’re more beautiful than anyone can see
And now you’re All Grown Up
I watched your school bus drive away and bring you back to me everyday
And everyday I’d see a difference in you
You were my changing photograph- give me a tear, a smile, a laugh
And if you were happy, then I was happy too
Hope you didn’t see any hint of bittersweet
When I watched the wonder in your eyes on an evening full of fireflies
And I realized someday you’d want to leave
‘Cause you’re all grown up
You’re one you’re two you’re three you’re four you’re five you’re six you’re seven you’re eight
‘Cause you’re all grown up, ‘cause you’re all grown up, ‘cause you’re all grown up
‘Cause you’re all grown up
