Looking at you now 
As you wake in the morning to start a new day 
I can't help but feel some concern 
How much are you going to learn as 
I'm running after you 
As you race to the kitchen for your milk and your toys 
Be careful, now you're moving too fast 
How I wish all these moments could last

Oh well, sometimes I'm happy 
Sometimes it hurts me 
To think of your life yet unknown 
I'm never sure just how much to advise you 
or that you figure out on your own

Now I just can't believe 
That you're walkin' and talkin' and countin' to ten 
You know all your loved ones by name 
And you're excited to learn a new game

How the time does fly 
It might be unfair to say it but still I'm afraid 
Before that I get used to watching you grow 
You'll become a young woman, I know 
Oh now please don't start crying 
Don't misunderstand me 
Forgive me for sharing my fright 
I try to tell you how proud I am of you 
But the words never come out just right

Now I'm taking you in bed 
I say a prayer for your safety and I turn out the light 
No one could love you, you see 
Any more than your mommy and me 
Rachel Elisabeth Marie 
No one's more special to me 
Than you
