Becoming Me

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
