A Letter to My Daughter
Thinking, breathing, feeling
Slow down time 'cause it flies so fast
I'm trying to absorb the seconds while they last
Your scent, your smile, the twinkle in your eye
All the firsts, every low and every high
Catching tears when I'm looking at your face
You are the best part of me, you are my saving grace
And so I wish for you, my love
I want you to feel loved, want you to be free
Want you to be anything you dream you can be
Want you to have pride, be humble in between
Don't blend into the crowd if you want to be seen
I want you to love with your entire heart
Finish everything that you start
Want you to be still as sweet as you are now
Even when your fears try to bring you down
I want you
Your tiny hand is wrapped around my finger so tight
You fall asleep, all cuddled in my arms at night
I know that this will only last for so long
So I'm holding on extra tight while I write you this song
You look at me, I'm wondering if I'm doing my best
You are everything and I am blessed
And so I wish for you, my love
I want you to be strong, and stand for your belief
But have compassion for anyone that you meet
I want you to be brave when I am not in sight
But fall into my arms so I can tell you it's alright
Take responsibility and own any mistakes
You'll get through anything even when your heart breaks
Don't apologize for being who you are
Shine bright you are a star
I want you
I want you to feel loved, want you to be free
Want you to be anything you dream you can be
Want you to have pride, be humble in between
Don't blend into the crowd, baby, you should be seen
I want you to love with your entire heart
Finish everything that you start
Want you to be still as sweet as you are now
Even when your fears try to bring you down
I want you
I want you
I love you
Thinking, breathing, feeling
Slow down time 'cause it flies so fast
I'm trying to absorb the seconds while they last
Your scent, your smile, the twinkle in your eye
All the firsts, every low and every high
Catching tears when I'm looking at your face
You are the best part of me, you are my saving grace
And so I wish for you, my love
I want you to feel loved, want you to be free
Want you to be anything you dream you can be
Want you to have pride, be humble in between
Don't blend into the crowd if you want to be seen
I want you to love with your entire heart
Finish everything that you start
Want you to be still as sweet as you are now
Even when your fears try to bring you down
I want you
Your tiny hand is wrapped around my finger so tight
You fall asleep, all cuddled in my arms at night
I know that this will only last for so long
So I'm holding on extra tight while I write you this song
You look at me, I'm wondering if I'm doing my best
You are everything and I am blessed
And so I wish for you, my love
I want you to be strong, and stand for your belief
But have compassion for anyone that you meet
I want you to be brave when I am not in sight
But fall into my arms so I can tell you it's alright
Take responsibility and own any mistakes
You'll get through anything even when your heart breaks
Don't apologize for being who you are
Shine bright you are a star
I want you
I want you to feel loved, want you to be free
Want you to be anything you dream you can be
Want you to have pride, be humble in between
Don't blend into the crowd, baby, you should be seen
I want you to love with your entire heart
Finish everything that you start
Want you to be still as sweet as you are now
Even when your fears try to bring you down
I want you
I want you
I love you
Thinking, breathing, feeling
