Thirteen Kisses

[Verse 1]
Tiny cleats by the back door
Grass-stained knees and a crooked bow
You spin through the kitchen
Little dancer on tiptoe
Laughing at every dog you see
Talking to birds in the maple tree
You were always loving
More than you could see
[Chorus]
Thirteen candles
Thirteen wishes
Thirteen hugs
Thirteen kisses
If you could see your heart the way I do
You'd know you're brighter than the moon
You are loved
More than you'll ever know
My beautiful you
(oh, my beautiful you)
[Verse 2]
Dust on your glove from the infield
You tap your shoes and you take your place
You miss
Then you’re smiling
Wiping sunshine off your face
You twirl in a hallway mirror
Practice steps till the world feels right
You hold every stray and broken thing
Like a lantern in the night
[Chorus]
Thirteen candles
Thirteen wishes
Thirteen hugs
Thirteen kisses
If you could see your heart the way I do
You'd know you're brighter than the moon
You are loved
More than you'll ever know
My beautiful you
(my beautiful you)
[Bridge]
One day you’ll question every little thing
Wonder if you’re too much or not enough
When that voice gets loud inside your head
Hear mine saying you are love
You are love
You are love
(remember)
[Chorus]
Thirteen candles
Thirteen wishes
Thirteen hugs
Thirteen kisses
If you could see your heart the way I do
You'd never doubt a single truth
You are loved
More than you’ll ever know
My beautiful you
My beautiful you
