So Innocent (Lullaby) Lyrics

So many ways to count your age

First by days then turn the page and you are grown

And on your own

Your name is written on a stone

So innocent

Slow your descent

You don't need to know it all

So innocent

Slow your ascent

You don't need to grow so tall

Your life is written on my wall

So many ways to catch your gaze

Attach my praise and then amaze you with a game

About your name

Spell it backwards it's the same

So innocent

Slow your descent

You don't need to know it all

So innocent

Slow your ascent

You don't need to grow so tall

Your life is written on my wall

Will I be the first to see the colour of your eyes?

Will it be the part of me I love but once despised?

Your father's eyes

Your mother's sighs

No disguises there

Your mother's hair

In your hand

No surprises there

So innocent

Slow your descent

You don't need to know it all

So innocent

Slow your ascent

You don't need to grow so tall

Your life is written on my wall

I've kept a record since you were small
