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
