lyrics

PERFECT

Late at night I climb the stair
Just to watch you sleeping there
Fix the blanket, touch your hair
Hold your hand
Get a cup of water from the sink
In case you need a drink
And this is what I think
My little man

You're perfect, I hope you never change
But I know you got to
Turn into something new
Be what you are
Yeah perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you must
Go on shine, never rust
Be my star

In the daylight, things move fast
You blink, a day has passed
But this love was made to last
My little friend
In your head sometimes, a fire burns
And you get confused in your twists and turns
But you're the boy who always learns
In the end

You're perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you will
You're not made to stand still
But to run
Yeah perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you will
I'm just happy that you'll still
Be my son.

Sometimes you wander, sometimes you're lost
Your car stalls out, your ship gets tossed
Hardly seems worth it to pay the cost
Of this circus ride
And you'll know laughter, and you'll know loss
You'll be beaten down, you'll be the boss
And we'll be together, when we finally cross
That ocean wide

You're perfect, I hope you never change
But I know you got to
Turn into something new
Be what you are
Yeah perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you must
Go on shine, never rust
Be my star
You're perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you will
You're not made to stand still
But to run
Yeah perfect, I hope you never change
But I know that you will
I'm just happy that you'll still
Be my son.
