Everything I Do You Do

I hide behind interlaced fingers I peekaboo over my hands I poke out my tongue, I flash a big smile As the one on your own face expands I move both my eyes counterclockwise Then I flare up my nostrils just so It's magic, this bond I call, you respond And kid, you respond like a pro It's all just too good to be true How everything I do, you do too She always had some kind of question (always have to know) And there wasn't a pot she'd not stir (never let you go) And through every trial, she'd laugh, she'd smile And I knew that she got it from her (from me) If it sounds just a little rehearsed It's 'cause everything I do she did first I held you a little too long (I'll hold you a little too long) I loved you a little too deep (I'll love you too deep) I promise to squeeze you a little too tight And that's a promise I promise to keep 'Cause here's the thing, we're just a few chimes In a harmony that sings so much deeper We're mothers, we're daughters reprises and rhymes And you're the refrain, little sleeper I wish she was here to sing with me (everything I do you do) I wish she was here to help guide you (everything I know you know) But know as you rest, how fully you're blest (and somehow she's right here beside you) For everything I've ever known All the things that I've ever been shown Every moment we love each other can attest For everything I've done Everything I'll do For everything you'll do too I'll do my best...
