Becoming Me

I think you’re the prettiest girl
Probably in the whole wide world
Sometimes I watch you brush your hair
You don’t even know I’m there and I hear
«Baby, you don’t wanna catch a cold»
As you’re kneeling down and zipping up my coat
You’re always looking out for me, but your kiss upon my cheek
Keeps me warmer than you know
I’ve never had to find out what it’s like to be alone
And as far as I know «mom» is just another word for home
They say I’m the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile
'Cause anyone can see it’s true
I’m becoming me because of you, you
Chocolate ice cream melting down my chin
Ferris wheel goes round and round again
Happy birthday, make a wish
Can it always stay like this
Finally kissed those training wheels goodbye
But you’ve always made me feel like I could fly
And when I fall and scrape my knee
The first one running after me is you
Saying, «Give it one more try»
I’ve never had to find out what it’s like to be alone
And as far as I know «mom» is just another word for home
They say I’m the spitting image of the one I look up to and I just smile
'Cause anyone can see it’s true
I’m becoming me because of you, you
And every morning I can hear you, talk to Jesus by your bed
Well, you pray for me and for the strength to face the day ahead
And more than anything in this whole world, I wanna be like you
So, I talk to Jesus too
I smell cookies baking in the kitchen
And you’ll be calling me down any minute
So, I guess I’d better go, I just wanted you to know
Anyone can see it’s true
I’m becoming me because of you, you
Because of you, because of you
