We were just innocent kids
When I took you to the prom
But now the older you get
The more you look like your mom
I mean that in a good way
Just like I'm my father's son
It's not what we are today
But rather what we become
When the arms that held us as kids let us run to love
Making mothers and fathers of daughters and sons
I see you every day
So I don't notice the change
But if I look back a week
You're getting sweeter with age
My friends and family agree
They tell me "man she looks great"
I smile and say "yeah it's good
But getting better, just wait"
When the arms that held us as kids let us run to love
We are the mothers and fathers of daughters and sons
Fall in love just like our parents did
One day they'll say we look like our kids
When the arms that held us as kids let us run to love
We are the mothers and fathers of daughters and sons
