I see you your standing there so beautiful
You look like your mum and I step back to see it all
Your attitude and frustration is what makes it click
And the attention you seek is what makes you tick
Ellie
You remind me of how life should be
Ellie
It's the things you do that make me see
That life ain't so bad after all
And that we all live free
I Hear your starting school
Life's never been so much fun
You're out there making lots of new friends
Ode to being young
I remember my schoolyard days
Kicking, Screaming my way through
But you'll be a killer queen
And a heartbreaker too
Ellie
You remind me of how life should be
Ellie
It's the things you do that make me see
That life ain't so bad after all
And why we all live free
You'll get married and have children of your own
Only then will you truly know what your parents have been through
They struggle every day to try and give you what you want
And all because they love you with all of their hearts
Ellie
Ellie
Ellie
You remind me of how life should be
Ellie
It's the things you do that make me see
I hope this song grows old with you
Plays in your mind your whole life through
And whenever you're feeling sad
Think of this and remember that
Ellie
You remind me of how life should be
Ellie
It's the things you do that make me see
That life ain't so bad after all
And that we all live free
