You Grew Inside My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some loves arrive in quiet ways Like morning light on window panes You never plan the moment when Your whole world starts again I held you on the day you came And knew my heart would never be the same [Chorus] You are brave, you are strong You've been my sunrise all along When the road ahead is new You walk right in and see it through Twenty-one and finding your own way I'm proud of you more every day [Verse 2] You didn't grow beneath my heart You grew inside it from the start Katie, you were meant to be The brightest part of our family Now you stand on your own two feet So independent, strong and sweet [Chorus] You are brave, you are strong You've been my sunrise all along When the road ahead is new You walk right in and see it through Twenty-one and finding your own way I'm proud of you more every day [Bridge] Katie, when the world feels tall You never let your courage fall And every step you take alone Still finds its way back home [Verse 3] So blow the candles, make a wish For every dream still on your list Go chase the places you will be You'll always have a home with me I'm grateful every single day That love led you my way [Chorus] You are brave, you are strong You've been my sunrise all along When the road ahead is new You walk right in and see it through Twenty-one and finding your own way I'm proud of you more every day [Outro] Happy birthday, Katie, my girl You're beautiful, you're strong, you're my world I'll love you always, Mom loves you
