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
