What She Sees in Me
Unveiling Endless Love: A Father's Reflection in 'What She Sees in Me'
Lyrics
Thirty-one and six foot even she still looks at me and sees
Despite aging, she still perceives me as she did when I was a child.
Her wide eyed boy, six years old reachin' for her hand to hold
She remembers moments when I was young, vulnerable, and in need of her guidance.
She still tells me, "Wipe your feet son, wash your hands, it's time to eat"
She maintains her role as a caregiver, guiding me with nurturing advice.
She believes she's heaven-sent to protect my long lost innocence
She believes her purpose is to safeguard my innocence.
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
She sees only the best qualities in me.
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
In her perception, I will never fall short of being my best.
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
Her love is resilient enough to overlook any imperfections.
If only I could always be what she sees in me
I wish I could consistently embody what she sees in me.
This ain't the paradise I promised her it's just a slice of life
Reality doesn't match the ideal life I promised her.
With an average man honest work with calloused hands
I am an ordinary man engaged in honest labor with rough hands.
And it bothers me I can't deliver all the things I swore I'd give her
I struggle to fulfill the promises of providing everything I vowed.
But she looks into my eyes like life with me is some kind of prize
Despite my shortcomings, she views life with me as a valuable prize.
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
She consistently sees only the best in me.
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
In her eyes, I will perpetually exceed any lower expectations.
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
Her love is resilient enough to forgive any faults or failures.
If only I could always be what she sees in me
I wish I could consistently match her perception of me.
Three years old and two foot four each day when I walk through the door
Her childlike innocence reminds me of the responsibility I carry.
She runs to me and holds me tight and in her eyes there shines a light
Her affection reaffirms the goodness she sees within me.
That reaches to the deepest part of all that's good inside my heart
She recognizes the genuine and kind parts within my heart.
The places that are kind and true and I know I must live up to
I feel compelled to live up to the standards she believes I possess.
What she sees in me is nothing but the best
Her perception solely focuses on my positive attributes.
In her eyes I'll never be anything less
She envisions me as perpetually surpassing any lower expectations.
It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest
Her love is enduring enough to pardon any flaws or shortcomings.
If only I could always be what she sees in me
I desire to consistently live up to her perception of me.
