   C#
At ten past three in the afternoon
   Fm                         A#m            F#
In 1996 an eight pound baby arrived That was me
   C#
I don’t know why I was brought to life
       Fm
But I swear that I’m the luckiest girl alive
   A#m              F#
To be part of this family

Chorus:
    D#m             G#                       Fm
And now I miss the times When you’d hold my hand
                     A#m
When I’m crossing the road.
      D#m           G#                Fm
You’d never let me fall Until it was time for
              A#m
you to let me go.
    D#m                   G#
And who knows when you’re old and grey
           Fm               A#m
Who you’re gonna grow up to be.
                 D#m
But every day I love you more
G#                  C#
You did it all for me.

I met my best friend by the age of three
And she grew up watching episodes of
Lizzie Maguire with me
On TV
Oh, we used to share our secrets didn't care
About what we would say
Even when it got embarrassin'
I let you in

Chorus:
And now I wanna go back
To when we'd dress up and we put on a magic show
And I'd boss you around
But you'd never frown, never wanted to go home
And who knows when we’re old and grey
Who we're gonna grow up to be
But every day I love you more
You did it all for me

D#m                              A#m
I won’t let these moments fade away
    D#m                          A#m
Its 'cause of you I’m who I am today
F#                 G#
Little Miss from ‘96

Chorus:
And how I miss the times
When you'd hold my hand
When I'm crossin' the road
You'd never let me fall
Until it was time for you to let me go
And who knows when you’re old and grey
Who you're gonna grow up to be
But every day I love you more
You did it all for me
And every day I love you more
You did it all for me
