Sixth Avenue

Lyrics

Was 10 years ago you were up all night I was begging you to sleep Sitting up in bed, wouldn't shut your eyes And you've still got that over me Your first birthday, just your dad and me Little face covered in ice cream We made a wish for you, blew your candle out Thought that baby you'd always be Thought that baby you'd always be [Chorus] Oh was ten years ago We'll turn around and you'll be grown Oh one day you'll be on your own You're gonna let us go There's a picture, red star on your shirt You're taking your first steps I'm behind you, I'm reaching out You're smiling and not looking back Many have said you're an old soul Wise beyond your time You'll walk alone for what is right You choose kindness every time You choose kindness every time [Chorus] Oh was ten years ago We'll turn around and you'll be grown Oh one day you'll be on your own You're gonna let us go We always tell you when you're older You say that won't cut it anymore Begging to get a slice with your friends Alone with them, your own money to spend So I let you cross Sixth Avenue Soon the crowd is all I see I keep on looking, I can't let go And I know you're not looking for me Just how it's supposed to be 11th birthday's coming soon Me and dad, your friends and you When you blow your candles out What you wish for it's up to you It's always up to you
