[Verse 1]
My little ocean eyes
My little guy
Spillin’ cereal on the counter
Laughin’ when you try
We learned bedtime by the TV glow
Hand-me-down shoes by the door
Just the two of us at that window
Countin’ dreams like they were storms
[Chorus]
You’ve come so far
My little ocean eyes
From blanket capes to chasin’ fireflies
We didn’t have much
But we had heart
Stitchin’ good days out of broken parts
I’m so proud of everything you are
More than I could ever write in the sky
Can’t wait to see who you’ll be
My little ocean eyes
[Verse 2]
There were questions I could never fix
Empty chair at your school play
So I clapped loud from the back row seats
Hoped you heard me anyway (yeah)
You learned how to throw that baseball straight
How to tie your own red shoes
Every time you stumbled on that sidewalk
Baby
I was fallin’ too
[Chorus]
You’ve come so far
My little ocean eyes
From blanket capes to chasin’ fireflies
We didn’t have much
But we had heart
Stitchin’ good days out of broken parts
I’m so proud of everything you are
More than I could ever write in the sky
Can’t wait to see who you’ll be
My little ocean eyes
[Bridge]
One day you’ll drive past this gravel road
See that porch light
Still burnin’ low
And know we took the hard way home
But we made it
We made it (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
You’ve come so far
My little ocean eyes
From blanket capes to chasin’ fireflies
We didn’t have much
But we had heart
Stitchin’ good days out of broken parts
I’m so proud of everything you are
More than I could ever write in the sky
Can’t wait to see who you’ll be
Can’t wait to see who you’ll be
My little ocean eyes
