When I close my eyes
the final picture in my mind
will be of you, running to me, arms open wide
Your fearless sprint into the world,
my beautiful, courageous girl,
will take you where impossibility’s defied
Remember always
Remember always

I love you more than 10,000 blue stars
And more than one million lights from afar
When you look into the night sky
The beam that brightens your eyes
It’s me, I’ll be the one helping you find
Your way home
Your way home

There will come a day
when seedling dreams will make their way
up from the ground where hope and love have kept them safe
And if, as they come into bloom,
you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do
look up, breathe in, my girl, I’ll be the rain
Remember always
Remember always

Gather the flowers and run
My beautiful, one true love

I love you more than 10,000 blue stars
And more than one million lights from afar
Baby, look into the night sky
The beam that brightens your eyes
It’s me, I’ll help you find
Your way home
Your way home
