Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You packed my lunch and my dreams
Early mornings
Quiet streets
You held my hand through the hard days
Never let me lose my feet
Albert
You taught me to stand
How to fix things with my hands
Elly
You showed me my heart
How to listen
How to understand
[Chorus]
Thank you
Albert
Thank you
Elly
For every step that carried me
For every word that set me free
I am who I am today
‘Cause you loved me all the way
Albert and Elly
You’re the best part of me
[Verse 2]
You clapped loud at every show
Even when I slipped
Went slow
You saw more in me than I did
Said
"One day
You’re gonna glow"
You worked late
Came home tired
Still asked how my day had been
Turned the smallest
Simple moments
Into the place I learned to win
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
All the nights you stayed awake
All the chances you let me take
Every little sacrifice
Built this life I’m living
If I ever lose my way
I just think of your names and pray
Albert
Elly
That’s my beginning
[Chorus]
You packed my lunch and my dreams
Early mornings
Quiet streets
You held my hand through the hard days
Never let me lose my feet
Albert
You taught me to stand
How to fix things with my hands
Elly
You showed me my heart
How to listen
How to understand
[Chorus]
Thank you
Albert
Thank you
Elly
For every step that carried me
For every word that set me free
I am who I am today
‘Cause you loved me all the way
Albert and Elly
You’re the best part of me
[Verse 2]
You clapped loud at every show
Even when I slipped
Went slow
You saw more in me than I did
Said
"One day
You’re gonna glow"
You worked late
Came home tired
Still asked how my day had been
Turned the smallest
Simple moments
Into the place I learned to win
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
All the nights you stayed awake
All the chances you let me take
Every little sacrifice
Built this life I’m living
If I ever lose my way
I just think of your names and pray
Albert
Elly
That’s my beginning
[Chorus]
Style of Music
Warm acoustic pop ballad with male vocals, nylon-string guitar as the centerpiece, soft piano pads underneath. Gentle pulse from brushed drums, subtle bass holding the low end. Verses close and intimate; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a singalong feel. Light strings enter in the bridge for lift, then everything pulls back for a tender final chorus and guitar outro.
