Little Piece Of Me

People say you look like me
They see it in your eyes
Some say it’s your cheekbones and
They see me when you smile
But I don’t need these things from you
Nor footsteps compromised
Already you’re the greatest gift
So far the best surprise

You’re a little piece of me
You’re the best part of me, oh
La da da ..

You’re pretty like your mother
Ribbons in your hair
Did you learn confidence or
Was that always there?
Sit and watch you sleeping
Never mind the time
And when you’re crying
I’ll take all your tears as mine

You’re a little piece of me
You’re the best part of me, oh
La da da da .. la da

And when you think about it
Walking you take it slow
Follow the paths you know
And let nothing slip away

When I think of what I’ve done
My trivial pursuits
The things that I’ve worked hard for
In my office, in my boots
Tiny castles in the sand
I build them everyday
But you’re the ocean, wind and sky
You blow them all away

You’re a little piece of me
You’re the best part of me
You’re a little piece of me
Did you know?
La da da da, la da …
