I still remember the weight of your head

folk, singer-songwriter, acoustic ballad

I still remember the weight of your head
As you slept on my chest in a blanket of red
Your tiny hand wrapped around just one of my fingers
A moment like that, yeah, it always lingers

First little step, then a tumble and grin
The way that you laughed — I felt life begin
You said your first words, like a soft little song
And I knew in my soul that you’d always be strong

Now you’re marching ahead with a fire in your eyes
Making your mark under stadium skies
Every note that you play, every step that you take
Leaves a trail of the dreams that you’re starting to make
And no matter how far or how high you fly
I’ll always be there — just look to the sky
You’re my heart, you’re my pride, my whole world in a glance
My beautiful girl, growing up with a dance

Books in your backpack, dreams in your head
You’re chasing your goals, painting futures ahead
You study, you lead, and you shine in your band
You’ve got so much grace in the way that you stand

But I see that same light from the day you were born
Still shining so bright through the passion you’ve worn
You're becoming someone the world’s gonna know
But to me, you're still that girl in the snow

And when the world gets loud and your days feel long
Remember my arms, where you always belong
You don’t have to see me to know that I care
Just close your eyes — I’ll always be there

Yeah, you’re marching ahead, and I cheer every stride
Tears in my eyes, but so full of pride
You’ve got mountains to climb, and you’re ready to soar
But my love goes with you, forevermore
So no matter how far or how high you fly
I’ll always be there — just look to the sky
You’re my heart, you’re my pride, my forever romance
My beautiful girl, still growing, still dancing

Yeah, you’ll always be
That heartbeat in me
My baby girl
Forever free
