Ten past three in the afternoon
In 1996 an eight pound baby arrived
That was me
I don't know I was brought to life
But I swear that I'm the luckiest girl alive
To be
Part of this family
And I will the miss the times
When you'd hold my hand
When I'm crossing the road
You never let me fall
Until it was time to let me go
And who knows when you're old and grey
Who you're gonna grow up to me
But everyday I love you more
You did it all for me
I met my best friend by the age of three
And she grew up
Watching episodes of Lizzie McGuire with me
On tv
Oh, we used to share our secrets
Didn't care about what we would say
Even when it got embarrassing
I'd let you in
And I, I wanna go back
To when we dressed up
And we put on a magic show
And I'd boss you around
But you'd never frown
Never wanted to go home
And who knows when you're old and grey
Who we're gonna grow up to me
But everyday I love you more
You did it all for me
I won't let these moments fade away
It's cause of you, I'm who I am today
Little miss of '96
And how I miss the times
When you'd hold my hand
When I'm crossing the road
You never let me fall
Until it was time to let me go
And who knows when you're old and grey
Who you're gonna grow up to me
But everyday I love you more
You did it all for me
And everyday I love you more
You did it all for me
