All the versions of you

I loved you when your shoes were on the wrong feet,

Hair all tangled from the summer dreams.

Crayon bumble bees and rainbowson the kitchen wall,

You’d laugh so hard you’d almost fall.

I loved you when the world was wide,

And you hid your little tears inside.

Before you knew what heartbreak meant,

Before a single dream got bent.

‘Cause I love all the versions of you, Chloee Jane

Every road you’ve wandered through.

The little girl, the woman too,

The broken pieces and the breakthroughs.

Every scar, every shine,

Every mountain you had to climb.

No matter what this old world puts you through,

I’ll keep loving all the versions of you.

I loved you through the rebel years,

The slammed doors and the hidden tears.

The nights you thought you’d lost your way,

When the clouds wouldn’t move away.

I loved the fighter, loved the dreamer,

The believer and the doubter too.

Every chapter, every page,

Every storm you ever made it through.

I love all the versions of you, Chloee Jane

Every road you’ve wandered through.

The little girl, the woman too,

The broken pieces and the breakthroughs.

Every scar, every shine,

Every mountain you had to climb.

No matter what this old world puts you through,

I’ll keep loving all the versions of you.

And someday when my voice is gone,

And these old hands can’t hold on strong,

You’ll still hear me in the midnight rain,

Calling your sweet name again.

You’ll know there never was a day,

My love for you could fade away.

Not one mistake, not one mile,

Could ever change how I see my child.

I love all the versions of you, darling,

The ones the whole world never knew.

The brave, the scared, the strong, the weak,

The silent prayers you couldn’t speak.

Every yesterday and tomorrow too,

Every dream that’s still coming true.

When the moon hangs low and the night comes through,

I’ll still be loving all the versions of you…

Yeah… all the versions of you…

My girl…

Every single one of you…

Mmmm…

Every single one…
