[Verse 1]
C
I’ve been here for every single step,
C
I’ve been careful to hold on, in case you trip,
          F
And every day I get to watch you grow,
          C
And every day you teach me things I didn’t know,
          G
Now after all that we’ve been through,
F      G        C
I’m so proud of you.


[Verse 2]
C
And I love all the things you wanna be,
C
You can build and make up anything,
      F
How I love it when you sing and dance,
      C
And I love that you always hold my hand,
          G
No matter what you do,
F      G        C
I’m so proud of you.


[Chorus]
          Am         G             F
So as you go, please know, on your way,
          Am               G             F
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play,
          Am        G          F
I hope it shows how much every day,
    G
How much it is true,
F           G        C
That I’m so proud of you.


[Verse 3]
C
It seems like yesterday you had arrived,
C
I can’t believe how quickly you turned five,
           F
Now you no longer are my little baby,
          C
But in my eyes you’ll always look that way to me,
       G
And as I get older too,
F             G        C
I’ll still be proud of you.


[Chorus]
          Am         G             F
So as you go, please know, on your way,
          Am               G             F
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play,
          Am        G          F
I hope it shows how much every day,
    G
How much it is true,
F           G        C
That I’m so proud of you.


[Bridge]
            G                Am
Well if you keep inside your heart,
         G                      Am
A little space where things get hard,
            G                 Am
Well I will be there when you need,
       G             Am
I will never be that far,
           F
And I will say it like new,
G                    C
That I’m so proud of you.


[Verse 4]
C
And I will be here when you come back home,
C
I will be your friend if you’re alone,
                 F
And though there may be times we disagree,
             C
Believe that you are always loved so much by me,
           G
And if you win or if you lose,
F      G        C
I’m so proud of you.


[Outro]
          Am         G             F
So as you go, please know, on your way,
          Am               G             F
As you explore, and as you learn, as you play,
          Am        G          F
I hope it shows how much every day,
    G
How much it is true,
F           G        C
That I’m so proud of you.
F           G        C
That I’m so proud of you.
F           G        C
That I’m so proud of you.
