A beautiful song crafted for our niece Lillian on her Bat Mitzvah. We played the recording at the after party, not a dry eye in the house.
Lyrics
It seems like just yesterday you were asking us to tie your shoe
Now you're off to a dance, departing for France, and this world belongs to you
Where you gonna to go, who you gonna be, well that just remains to see
I caught a little glimpse, I'll share with you since, I see it all rosy
I can picture you, on the Champs-Elysées for a rendezvous
I can picture you, in a castle by the sea off the coast of Normandy
(Oh, I can picture you)
Gotta winning smile and a sense of style, there's nothing that you can't do
Take a little time, let the sun shine, this world belongs to you
I can picture you, on the Champs-Elysées for a rendezvous
I can picture you, raising up a family or just about anything
I can see you in the nations capital, following your mother and your grandma into law
Or I could see you on a New York stage, capturing Aunt Scottie's heyday
I can picture you, on the Champs-Elysées for a rendezvous
I can picture you, in a castle by the sea, anywhere you want to be
You're an acrobat or a diplomat, the president of this or that
You're a CEO, always on the go, the host of your own TV show
A woman of steel who can work a deal, tell the world just how she feels
I can picture you (I can picture you)
You're an astronaut or an acrobat, you're the president of this or that (I can picture you)
Or a CEO always on the go, the host of your own TV show (I can picture you)
A woman of steel who can work a deal, and cook a holiday meal (I can picture you)
And say just how she feels (I can picture you)
