[Verse 1] I still see your shoes by the back door Small enough to line up in a row Now you call with stories from your own lives And I hear the women you’ve become [Pre-Chorus] The years went by in ordinary moments Packed lunches, long drives, one more goodnight I didn’t know those days were making A home I’d carry all my life [Chorus] My girls, wherever your roads may lead you Whatever you build, whatever you choose There’s a place at my table, a light in the window And all of my love coming home to you You don’t have to be little to be my daughters You don’t have to ask if I’m proud of you My girls, my heart has always known you And it always will, wherever you go [Verse 2] You’ve got your own keys and your own opinions Your own hard-won ways of seeing things through I love the way you stand beside each other And the way you make a room more you [Pre-Chorus] When life gets loud, when plans come undone When the day asks more than you can give Remember you are loved without a reason Not for what you do, just for who you are [Chorus] My girls, wherever your roads may lead you Whatever you build, whatever you choose There’s a place at my table, a light in the window And all of my love coming home to you You don’t have to be little to be my daughters You don’t have to ask if I’m proud of you My girls, my heart has always known you And it always will, wherever you go [Bridge] I hope you find the courage to begin again The patience to forgive, the sense to laugh And when you look back through the years behind you I hope you know how much joy you gave [Final Chorus] My girls, wherever your roads may lead you Whatever you build, whatever you choose There’s a place at my table, a light in the window And all of my love coming home to you You don’t have to be little to be my daughters You don’t have to ask if I’m proud of you My girls, my heart has always known you And it always will, wherever you go [Outro] Wherever you go You’ll always have a home in me
