Jill Barber - Big Eyes

Those big eyes look up at me
And I wonder what do they see
Does she think I move mountains
That I could part the sea

Do I let her believe
I got magic tricks up my sleeve
That I've got all the answers
That she'll ever need

For now it's nice to feel like a hero
And if it's not forever I hope she knows

That I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Someone that she misses when I am not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now

She's watching my every move
A mirror to all that I do
Am I leaving the impression
That I mean to

And when I tuck her into bed at night
I only hope I'm doing it right

'Cause I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Someone that she misses when I am not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now

Sometimes I wish that she could stay my little shadow
But I never wanna block her light
'Cause I know someday she's gonna be a rainbow

And I just wanna lift her up and never let her down
In twenty years I hope she looks at me and says she's proud
Someone that she misses when I am not around
Hope she always sees me the way that she does right now
