Sparkle In Your Eyes

[Verse 1]
You used to fit
In the crook of my arm
Pink socks
Wild hair
Sleeping through the storm
Now your keys by the door
And your suitcase on wheels
I’m smiling in the doorway
At how growing up feels
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
Of the woman you’re becoming
But I can’t quite find
The face of my tiny girl
I just hope this world
Still amazes you
Surprises you
And there’s a little bit of starlight
In the sparkle of your eyes
[Verse 2]
You roll your eyes
When I tell old tales
How you’d chase fireflies
Down the backyard trail
Now you chase your dreams
Down a different road
And I’m waving from the driveway
Trying to let you go
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
Of the woman you’re becoming
But I can’t quite find
The face of my tiny girl
I just hope this world
Still amazes you
Surprises you
And there’s a little bit of starlight
In the sparkle of your eyes
[Bridge]
If it ever feels too heavy
If the days all feel the same
Call me up and I’ll remind you
How you danced in the rain
How you laughed at the thunder
Like it was just a game
You were brave before you knew it
You still are today (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m so proud of you
Of the woman you’re becoming
But I can’t quite find
The face of my tiny girl
I just hope this world
Still amazes you
Surprises you
And there’s a little bit of starlight
In the sparkle of your eyes
[Outro]
So go and find your somewhere
I’ll be here
Alright
Looking back
Looking forward
At that same bright light
Every time you turn and smile
I see two lives
My little one forever
And the woman by my side

Warm acoustic folk-pop, male vocals. Close-miked guitar and soft brushed snare, subtle upright bass. Verses intimate and hushed; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, glockenspiel sparkle, and gentle piano chords. Bridge pulls instruments back to almost solo vocal, then whole band returns for a final, emotionally lifted chorus and a lingering guitar outro., world
