Claudia

I look at the beautiful woman you are

Intelligent, brave, with a mind of your own

I am so deeply proud of the way you have grown

Independent and striking, both inside and out

You know who you are, leaving no room for doubt

But underneath all of the grace that I see

There's a memory playing right in front of me

Oh, Claudia, you are my everything

The reason I wake and the reason I sing

You don't even realize you saved my life

You gave me the strength to survive the night

No matter how tall or how fiercely you walk

You will always be my little Todd the fox

I watch from the sidelines and marvel at you

There isn't a thing that you can't push through

You carry a courage that's quiet and real

A beautiful heart that knows how to feel

But even as you take on the world on your own

I still see the little girl I've always known

Oh, Claudia, you are my everything

The reason I wake and the reason I sing

You don't even realize you saved my life

You gave me the strength to survive the night

No matter how tall or how fiercely you walk

You will always be my little Todd the fox

When the water was rising and I couldn't breathe

You were the anchor that wouldn't leave

You don't even know what you did for me then

But you gave me a reason to try once again

You gave me a reason to keep going on

You were the light when the light was all gone

Oh, Claudia, you are my everything

The reason I wake and the reason I sing

You don't even realize you saved my life

You gave me the strength to survive the night

No matter how tall or how fiercely you walk

You will always be my little Todd the fox

My beautiful girl, my little Todd the fox
