You Are You

(album: Any Day Now - 2023)

Come sit with me
I'll stroke your hair
And listen to your stories dear
You speak so sweet
You're so much more peaceful
Than I'll ever be

You cry when you need to
You laugh a lot
As loud as you can

I don't know where you'll go
My little girl
But there are many wonders
In the world
It feels as if your life has just begun
But look how far you've come
You are you
You are you

Take it easy now
You're growing up
And I can't wrap my mind around
This magical mystery
Every little thing about you is to me

And go where you want to
Dance a lot
As wild as you can

I don't know where you'll go
My little girl
But there are many wonders
In the world
It feels as if your life has just begun
But look how far you've come
Oh look how far you've come
You are you
You are you
