Lyrics:

I'd race to meet you
At the top of the stairs
You'd come from working
You were always there for me

You'd scare the nightmares
Singing me an old song
You'd learned in osh kosh
You were always there for me
But what was it like to be you

You said
I could never see
What passing judgement
On anybody else
Would ever do for me
Well I love how you see
The things that you couldn't see
You showed me how to live

My dance recitals
They were never concise
You never missed one
You were always there for me

You told me softly
That I had what it takes
To make it anywhere
You were always there for me
But what was it like to be you

You said
I could never see
What passing judgement
On anybody else
Would ever do for me
Well I love how you see
The things that you couldn't see
You showed me how to die

You said
I could never see
What passing judgement
On anybody else
Would ever do for me
Well I love how you see
The things that you couldn't see
You showed me how to see
And what to look for in a man

I'd race to meet you
At the top of the stairs
You'd come from working
You were always there for me
