C#m             Bm
When I see you sky as I kite
    A                       Bm
as high as I might, I can't get that high
C#m                  Bm                  A
The how you move The way you burst the clouds
            Bm
It makes me want to try

And when I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips, I can't lick that far
But when you pout, the way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start

And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of a magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go

Chorus:
     C#m            G                    A
And when I see you take the same sweet steps
              G
you used to take I say
      C#m          G              A
I'll keep holding you my arms so tight
            D
I'll never let you slip away

And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small
The way you fur, the how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all

And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave

Chorus
