I've seen the way you look at her
as if the rest of the world has died

mmmm mmmm mm

And when she says she loves you
I see nebulae collide
We're all nonexistent
and I realize she's all you've been missing

And where she sees the stars
You see her eyes
And where you see the sun
She just sees the sky
always focused on smaller parts of life

And ohhh ohhhh ohhhh oh oh
Hand in hand
I know you'll guide her

And hand in hand
Always beside her

And you take her under your wing
Hide her from all I had to see
The world is dark
But you said she'll only know the light
The world is painful
But you say she'll only know the bright

And I've seen the way you look at her
And, mama, can you even imagine
Can you even imagine
When she's old enough to say goodbye
When she's old enough to say goodbye

And, mother, I must flee the nest
I left behind your very best
Though you watch my feathers float to the ground
I promise I'll be safe and sound
So, don't worry, I'll be safe and sound
Safe and sound
