Anything

Yesterday, you were a boy
Playfully caught up in an innocent world
So possessive of your toys
Look at you, how have you grown?
Tender in your heart I see
A wisdom all your own

I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you

Yesterday, you were a girl
Sparkling eyes you were so quick to surprise
In your ribbons and your curls
Look at you, set yourself free
Fearlessly flying my sunshine angel
Gone so high it just can’t be

I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you

Yesterday, when we were young
Tender in our hearts we see
Over the years what we’ve become
Look at you, where have you gone?
Each moment brings change, we good-bye to ourselves
And you know it won’t last long

I’ll give anything, anything for you
I’ll give anything, I’ll give anything for you
