LARGER THAN LIFE
|
As a boy I use to climb up on my daddy's knee / He had big bear paws and shoes size 13 EEE / And he seemed to me to be larger than life / He had a heart bigger than any house on our avenue / A voice and a smile to match it, too / And when he called for you he sounded larger than life • Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about / That not all things are actual size / Like the picture on a cereal box of a toy surprise / Some things are larger than life • Now I use to run off to the fishin' hole / With my brother, cousin and cane pole / Where every fish we caught was larger than life / Now my brother fixes people, my cousin fixes cars / And those days gone by seem so distant and far / Like the battles we fought that were larger than life • Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about / That not all things are actual size / Big trouble comes in little white lies / Some things get larger than life • I was seven years old the day I walked the aisle / And I saw my mama's tears and my daddy's smile / And that moment seemed larger than life / `Cause there were angels rejoicing all around / Over the good news and great joy I had found / In a little manger boy who was larger than life • Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about / That not all things are actual size / There's more than just what meets the eyes / Some things are larger than life
