Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Warm modern country ballad in the Laney Wilson lane: mid-tempo brushed drums, laid-back bass, dobro swells, and twangy electric fills. Female vocals with a slight Southern drawl, intimate in the verses, bigger and proud in the chorus. Subtle organ pad in the back half and a small harmony stack on the hook line to lift it.
