Verse:
You know all my secrets and never tell.
You know my victories and failures all too well.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
You’re what I was and who I am…more than a teddy bear.
When there were monsters underneath my bed,
You’d smile and tell me not to fret and I’d dream of you instead.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
You’re what I was and who I am…more than a teddy bear.
Chorus:
You’re part of my childhood I keep with me today.
When life gets too serious, it’s always time to play.
Part of my childhood and part of why I care,
You remind me of life’s gentler side…more than a teddy bear.
Verse:
Most folks that I know say that you’re just a toy.
They don’t believe in fantasy and they’ll never know the joy.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
You’re what I was and who I am…more than a teddy bear.
Chorus:
You’re part of my childhood I keep with me today.
When life gets too serious, it’s always time to play.
Part of my childhood and part of why I care,
You remind me of life’s gentler side…more than a teddy bear.
You know all my secrets and never tell.
You know my victories and failures all too well.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
You’re what I was and who I am…more than a teddy bear.
When there were monsters underneath my bed,
You’d smile and tell me not to fret and I’d dream of you instead.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
You’re what I was and who I am…more than a teddy bear.
Chorus:
You’re part of my childhood I keep with me today.
When life gets too serious, it’s always time to play.
Part of my childhood and part of why I care,
You remind me of life’s gentler side…more than a teddy bear.
