So Innocent

So many ways to count your age
First by days then turn the page and you are grown
And on your own
Your name is written on a stone

So innocent
Slow your descent
You don't need to know it all
So innocent
Slow your ascent
You don't need to grow so tall
Your life is written on my wall

So many ways to catch your gaze
Attach my praise and then amaze you with a game
About your name
Spell it backwards it's the same

So innocent
Slow your descent
You don't need to know it all
So innocent
Slow your ascent
You don't need to grow so tall
Your life is written on my wall

Will I be the first to see the colour of your eyes?
Will it be the part of me I love but once despised?

Your father's eyes
Your mother's sighs
No disguises there
Your mother's hair
In your hand
No surprises there

So innocent
Slow your descent
You don't need to know it all
So innocent
Slow your ascent
You don't need to grow so tall
Your life is written on my wall
I've kept a record since you were small
