I've been there for every single step
I've been careful to hold on, in case you trip
And everyday I get to watch you grow
And everday you teach me things I didn't know
Now after all that we've been through
I'm so proud of you
And I love all the things you wanna be
You can build and make up anything
And how I love it when you sing and dance
And I love that you will always hold my hand
No matter what you do
I'm so proud of you
So as you go please know on your way
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play
I hope it shows how much everyday
How much it is true
That I'm so proud of you
It seems like yesterday you had arrived
I can't believe how quickly you turned five
Now you no longer are my little baby
But in my eyes you'll always look that way to me
And as I get older too
I'll still be proud of you
So as you go please know on your way
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play
I hope it shows how much everyday
How much it is true
That I'm so proud of you
Well if you keep inside your heart
A little space where things get hard
Well I will be there when you need
I will never be that far
And I will say it like new
That I'm so proud of you
And I will be here when you come back home
I will be your friend if you're alone
And though there may be times we disagree
Believe that you are always loved so much by me
And if you win or if you lose
I'm so proud of you
So as you go please know on your way
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play
I hope it shows how much everyday
How much it is true
That I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of you
I'm so proud of you
