You said you couldn't keep me when you were seventeen
|
Too young to be a father
|
You kissed my hand and took your leave
|
And you taught me how to make believe
|
|
Make believe I was a gift to you from heaven
|
Make believe that you would take me as your own
|
Make believe that you would set the mark of what a man should be
|
You taught me how to make believe
|
|
And now that I've grown older
|
I long for us to meet
|
I have a million questions
|
But most of all I want to see
|
If all of it was make believe
|
|
Another year has come and gone
|
I am living with your family
|
And I feel right at home
|
In the place where I always wanted to be
|
|
I'm going out this evening
|
I check the mirror twice
|
You stop me on the staircase
|
You kiss my hand and say that I look beautiful tonight
|
|
And I believe I was a gift to you from heaven
|
And I believe that you would take me as your own
|
I believe that you set the mark of what a man should be
|
Now I don't have to make believe
|
