What She Sees In Me

[Verse 1]
Thirty-one and six-foot even
She still looks at me and sees
Her wide-eyed boy, six years old
Reachin' for her hand to hold
And she still tells me, "Wipe your feet, son
Wash your hands, it's time to eat," yeah
She believes she's Heaven-sent
To protect my long lost innocence

[Chorus]
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes, I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me

[Verse 2]
This ain't the paradise I've promised her
It's just a slice of life with an average man
Honest work with calloused hands
And it bothers me I can't deliver
All the things I swore I'd give her
But she looks into my eyes
Like life with me is some kind of prize

[Chorus]
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes, I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me

[Verse 3]
Three years old and two-foot-four
Each day when I walk through the door
She runs to me and holds me tight
And in her eyes, there shines a light
That reaches to the deepest part
Of all that's good inside my heart
The places that are kind and true
And I know I must live up to

[Chorus]
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
In her eyes, I'll never be anything less
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
If only I could always be what she sees in me
