Thirty-one and six foot even she still looks at me and sees   Her wide eyed boy, six years old reachin' for her hand to hold   She still tells me, "Wipe your feet son, wash your hands, it's time to eat"   She believes she's heaven-sent to protect my long lost innocence      What she sees in me is nothing but the best   In her eyes I'll never be anything less   It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest   If only I could always be what she sees in me      This ain't the paradise I promised her it's just a slice of life   With an average man honest work with calloused hands   And it bothers me I can't deliver all the things I swore I'd give her   But she looks into my eyes like life with me is some kind of prize      What she sees in me is nothing but the best   In her eyes I'll never be anything less   It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest   If only I could always be what she sees in me      Three years old and two foot four each day when I walk through the door   She runs to me and holds me tight and in her eyes there shines a light   That reaches to the deepest part of all that's good inside my heart   The places that are kind and true and I know I must live up to      What she sees in me is nothing but the best   In her eyes I'll never be anything less   It's a love strong enough to forgive the rest   If only I could always be what she sees in me
