I think you're the prettiest girl Probably in the whole wide world Sometimes I watch you brush your hair You don't even know I'm there And I hear, "Baby, you don't wanna catch a cold" As you're kneeling down and zipping up my coat You're always looking out for me, but your kiss upon my cheek Keeps me warmer than you know I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to, and I just smile 'Cause anyone can see it's true I'm becoming me because of you Chocolate ice cream melting down my chin Ferris wheel goes round and round again Happy birthday, make a wish Can it always stay like this Finally kissed those training wheels goodbye But you've always made me feel like I could fly And when I fall and scrape my knee the first one running after me is you Saying, "Give it one more try" I've never had to find out what it's like to be alone And as far as I know "mom" is just another word for home They say I'm the spitting image of the one I look up to, and I just smile 'Cause anyone can see it's true I'm becoming me because of you And every morning I can hear you talk to Jesus by your bed Well, you pray for me and for the strength to face the day ahead And more than anything in this whole world I wanna be like you So, I talk to Jesus too I smell cookies baking in the kitchen And you'll be calling me down any minute So, I guess I'd better go, I just wanted you to know Anyone can see it's true I'm becoming me because of you Because of you Because of you
