[Verse 1]
Tiny socks on the heater
Midnight cries
Sleepy eyes
Little feet on my chest
Spilled milk on the kitchen floor
First wobbly steps through the hall in a superhero vest
Cartoons loud on a Sunday
You'd dance in your diaper
Spin till you fell on the rug
Sticky hands on my T-shirt
You'd climb in my lap and squeeze me tight in a hug
[Chorus]
From baby steps to big dreams
Look at you
Look at you now (hey!)
Laugh lines where the tears used to be
And I’m just standing here proud
From baby steps to big dreams
Time moves fast but my heart stays
You grow up
I keep cheering
Every moment
Every phase
[Verse 2]
Now it’s sneakers by the doorway
Soccer ball
Backpack
Headphones tangled in the chair
Eye rolls at my old stories
But you still come find me when life feels unfair
Homework spread on the table
“Dad
Can you help?” then you teach me what you know
You talk about the future
And I see that baby in your smile as you glow
[Chorus]
From baby steps to big dreams
Look at you
Look at you now (oh yeah!)
Laugh lines where the tears used to be
And I’m just standing here proud
From baby steps to big dreams
Time moves fast but my heart stays
You grow up
I keep cheering
Every moment
Every phase
[Bridge]
One day you’ll be taller than me
Chasing your own crazy plans
But you’ll always be that boy
Who held my finger in his hand
So dance your way through every change
I’ll clap along from the side
Every stumble
Every stride
I’m your partner in this life (hey!)
[Chorus]
From baby steps to big dreams
Look at you
Look at you now
Laugh lines where the tears used to be
And I’m just standing here proud
From baby steps to big dreams
If you fall
I’ll help you stand
Little boy
Almost a young man
Still my heart in your two hands
