If I ever get to Saginaw again,
|
A locale that's somewhat off the beaten track.
|
Get to see the girl I never saw again
|
Who must know why I have never ventured back.
|
We we young,
|
And so alive
|
And now I wonder if she'd cling to me,
|
Become my very own as she did then,
|
If I ever get to Saginaw again.
|
|
If I ever get to Saginaw again,
|
It won't be in Spring with meadows turning green.
|
It won't be to tangle with the law again.
|
And it won't be with someone one only seventeen,
|
Who gave her love,
|
And made me hers.
|
And when you find the one you're dreaming of
|
Who thinks to ask, "How old is love?",
|
Not "when"
|
You may never get to Saginaw again.
|
|
If I ever get to Saginaw again
|
I will get to see son who bears my name.
|
And perhaps I'll quietly withdraw again
|
When I see the little man that he became.
|
And how I yearn
|
To watch him grow.
|
A father's love is maybe all it takes
|
To not repeat those sad mistakes of men
|
If I ever get to Saginaw again.
