HALF OF WHAT SHE IS

HALF OF WHAT SHE IS
(is all I can hope to be)

I was a newborn the day that we met
I guess she’ll never forget
now I’m a man and I’m willin’ to bet
I’ve got the best you can get

but, how can I tell her
how much it means
and how much she’s given to me?
she’s shown me all of the best things I’ve seen
she gave me faith in my dreams

I hope and I pray
that I can, someday,
give her what she’s given me
I’m gonna try, but it’s plain to see
half of what she is, is all I can hope to be

all of a sudden
I suddenly see
she’s been the best thing for me
a mother, a friend and a fine memory
somehow she’s been all three

I hope and I pray
that I can, someday,
give her what she’s given me
I’m gonna try, but it’s plain to see
half of what she is, is all I can hope to be
half of what she is, is all I can hope to be
half of what she is, is all I can hope to be
