I see me in you.
We share a need for closeness and affection.
We want to be sure of those we love.
When we sing together at night
I see me in you.
You have a song in your heart,
And we both love The Carpenters.
When you strut around in your Darth Vader cape
I see me in you.
It's the complex characters we love
Which is why I married dad.
When you cheer up your brother
I see me in you.
Our glass is half full
And we're always willing to share.
When you eat chocolate ice cream
I see me in you.
We get most of it on our lips and chin,
Sweet Wooly Willies.
When you do funny voices
I see me in you.
The world is your stage
And you live for applause.
And then there are days when
I see you in me.
When I battle you with light sabers
Or find Easter Eggs that you hid.
On the day you turned 3
I saw me in you.
Shyly clutching my face while we sang,
Reveling in adoration.
If you ever lose yourself,
You will find you in me.
In my smile, in my laugh,
In my chocolate covered chin.
I know when I'm lost
I will find me in you.
My tiny harbor, my sweet guidepost,
My amazing reflection.
