Looking at you now As you wake in the morning to start a new day I can't help but feel some concern How much are you going to learn as I'm running after you As you race to the kitchen for your milk and your toys Be careful, now you're moving too fast How I wish all these moments could last Oh well, sometimes I'm happy Sometimes it hurts me To think of your life yet unknown I'm never sure just how much to advise you Or that you figure out on your own Now I just can't believe That you're walkin' and talkin' and countin' to ten You know all your loved ones by name And you're excited to learn a new game How the time does fly It might be unfair to say it but still I'm afraid Before that I get used to watching you grow You'll become a young woman, I know Oh now please don't start crying Don't misunderstand me Forgive me for sharing my fright I try to tell you how proud I am of you But the words never come out just right Now I'm taking you in bed I say a prayer for your safety and I turn out the light No one could love you, you see Any more than your mommy and me Rachel Elisabeth Marie No one's more special to me Than you
