(Schmit/Walden/Linderman)
|
Do you remember
|
Not so long ago
|
When I could just pick you up
|
And warm your soul
|
|
We'd sit and talk about the difference between
|
The world of bad and good
|
And I was doing the best I could
|
|
Bedtime stories
|
Read you off to sleep
|
Wishing you all my love
|
And sweet, sweet dreams
|
|
I'd wait until you were closing your eyes
|
Just because I thought I should
|
And I'd wonder while I watched you breathe
|
What this crazy world had up its sleeve
|
I was doing the best I could
|
|
"Time Flies"--So the saying goes
|
But I don't know if it's true
|
Because every dayd is so full of life
|
And so much of it is you
|
|
Now you stand-so tall
|
And look straight in my eyes
|
Longing with all your might
|
To be strong and wise
|
|
So on summer nights when you're driving away
|
I hope you understand
|
That this new found freedom you have earned
|
Worries me till you return
|
And I'm doing the best I can
|
And my love for you will never end
|
