Leaps and Bounds

Lyrics

The very first steps you took Happened while my back was turned You stood and walked alone How could I miss that milestone Pretty soon you were running And I'd trail behind And I'd be there to catch you Every time you stumbled I'd always dry your tears I'd walk behind you through the years I swore I'd never miss out Or turn away again And you went leaps and bounds You'd go leaps and bounds I could not believe how fast you grew I treasured every moment chasing you With each leap and bound I thought that I'd bе your solid ground I'd always keep you safe And right on track And never turn my back But now wе're further down the road I must've looked away again Got caught up in it all I wasn't there to catch your fall I've made mistakes I've missed out And now I turn to see How you've come leaps and bounds You've come leaps and bounds Maybe you can't see it, but boy I do I need to say how proud I am of you One more leap and bound And you'll become your solid ground I promise that I'm here, I'm listening now Just needed you to help remind me how No one hands you a book of instructions Nothing's clear from the moment we crawl And some mothers' tears trickle down to their children I know that you've been sparing my feelings I know that you've been hiding your own I see now that I've been building up walls But you'll go leaps and bounds And I won't miss another stride You'll go leaps and bounds And I'll be right there by your side I hope that you can see it Because it's true You're really so amazing From my point of view So Since you've come leaps and bounds It's time for me to leap and hope I'm bound To catch up to you
