Where did you come from? Who sent you here?
Edge of the water, golden hour in your hair
My heart aches, from being stretched so wide
In the ocean of my heart, you're the rising tide
In the ocean of my heart, you're the rising tide
When d'you get taller? 'nother notch on the doorframe
Footsteps in the hallway, I hear you call my name
You say, "did you know, blue and yellow make green?"
You colour my world, in shades I've never seen
You colour my world, in shades I've never seen
Little days they move too fast
Thought you'd be a baby forever
Sure as a seedling grows
You grew out of that little red sweater
I want to linger
A little longer
In the wonder of these little days
The sun looks down at its face on the sea
When I see you smile, it reminds me
Could I be less heavy and a little more free?
Lines on my face are like a weathered tree
Winter brings snow, the springtime it's rain
You bring the sunshine and I'm a kid again
But I'm lost in the thought, "someday you'll move on"
To chase your own dreams and sing your own song
Chase your own dreams and sing your song
Little days they move too fast
Thought you'd be a baby forever
Sure as a seedling grows
You grew out of that little red sweater
I want to linger
A little longer
In the wonder of these little days
I want to linger
A little longer
In the wonder
