Sweet baby girl you wanted to do things yourself
You always had to reach for the highest shelf
You loved the stories that we'd write
With your stuffed animals at night
Then one day we'd stopped our chats
And we struggled to get it back
They say: "Just as you become interesting, you move away"
But, that's not true, no, that's not true in any way
I couldn't see it when you were young
I couldn't see that you would become
A person that's made me so proud
Now everyone knows, we're all grown up now
I remember when we found out we're having a boy
A son to hang out with, I was overjoyed
You loved to sing and play from the start
We'd talk about your passion from the heart
But as you grew, I had to let you go
I missed our times together, even so
They say: "Just as you become interesting, you move away"
But, that's not true, no, that's not true in any way
I couldn't see it when you were young
I couldn't see that you would become
A person that's made me so proud
Now everyone knows, we're all grown up now
You were a surprise right from the start
But from the first, you couldn't help but steal my heart
You always had a ball to throw
I couldn't play enough with you, I know
But when your games became a plan
I missed the boy as you became a man
They say: "Just as you become interesting, you move away"
But, that's not true, no, that's not true in any way
I couldn't see it when you were young
I couldn't see that you would become
A person that's made me so proud
Now everyone knows, we're all grown up now
