I see you there, five year-old me
Painting your nails a shade of bright pink
Playin' in mom's makeup while she braids your hair
It was just dress up to you, but now I see it

Was everything, the simple things
It brings me closer to you
I feel you smile

Oh, dear little me
Hope that you're proud 'cause we're living your dream
If you ask me, you're doing so much better than you think
Oh, yes you are (yes you are)
Dear little me

Came across the doll you lost
While packing up memories, emptying out my drawers
Lili, don't you cry (don't you cry)
It's gon' be alright (it's gon' be alright)
Soon you'll see you're safe with me
I'l never leave ya

It's everything, the simple things
That brings me closer to you
That innocent smile (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh, dear little me
Hope that you're proud 'cause we're living your dream
If you ask me, you're doing so much better than you think
Oh, yes you are (yes you are)
Dear little me

You don't have to be afraid to grow up
'Cause I've got through the things that you've gone through
Pinky promise with a cherry on top
You'll be all that you wanted to be, whoa

Oh, dear little me
Hope that you're proud 'cause we're living your dream
If you ask me, you're doing so much better than you think
Oh, yes you are
Dear little

Oh, dear little me
I hope that you're proud 'cause we're living your dream
If you ask me, you're doing so much better than you think
Oh, yes you are (yes you are)
Dear little me
