[Verse 1]
Those big eyes look up at me and I wonder what do they see
Does she think I move mountains that I could part the sea?
Do I let her believe I've got magic tricks up my sleeve
That I've got all the answers that she'll ever need?
[Pre-Chorus]
For now, it's nice to feel like a hero
And if it's not forever, I hope she knows
[Chorus]
That I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years, I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Somеone that she misses whеn I'm not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now
[Verse 2]
She's watching my every move, a mirror to all that I do
Am I leaving the impression that I mean to?
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I tuck her into bed at night
I only hope I'm doing it right
[Chorus]
'Cause I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years, I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Someone that she misses when I am not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wish that she could stay my little shadow
But I never wanna block her light
'Cause I know someday she's gonna be a rainbow
[Chorus]
And I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years, I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Someone that she misses when I am not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
