mariah

Late night drives, just the two of us

Windows down, nowhere we need to rush

Or cuddling up in bed, letting the hours pass

Smiling at the sound of your contagious laugh

Mariah, you're so smart, you've got this gentle grace

Bringing so much light to every single space

Watching you grow takes my breath away

The beautiful woman you're becoming every day

I'm so proud of you, and the path you took

I love you more than all the words in all the books

Yeah, more than all the words in all the books

Mother-daughter dates, looking through the racks

Shopping for a while, just laughing and looking back

Taking on adventures, packing up our bags

Even when we're tired and our energy drags

One look in your eyes, and I already find

We don't even have to speak, we read each other's minds

Watching you grow takes my breath away

The beautiful woman you're becoming every day

I'm so proud of you, and the path you took

I love you more than all the words in all the books

Yeah, more than all the words in all the books

You care so deeply, always stepping in to help

Putting everybody else right before yourself

Your kind and loving spirit is a rare design

Mariah, I'm so grateful that your heart is mine

Watching you grow takes my breath away

The beautiful woman you're becoming every day

I'm so proud of you, and the path you took

I love you more than all the words in all the books

Yeah, more than all the words in all the books

My sweet Mariah, more than all the words in all the books
