Behind my new face
I'm the same as I've always been
Wondering how you are
If I am your mother still
I'm wearing the denim dress
And my hair is the same way
I want you to remember
And to keep me alive
This time of year
I'd give my life to live
Out there with you
And watch you smile in your sleep
I see you across the room
I fear that I cannot even breathe
Oh gosh, how you have grown
You're nearly as tall as myself
I want everyone to notice
Just how proud you make me feel
Instead I say nothing
And then you head for the door
