| Let’s start it here | 
| Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin' | 
| I can’t pin down the year | 
| When the romance wasn’t dead | 
| And love still stood for something | 
| There was a girl who had lost her way | 
| She blushed red when he came over | 
| And they danced the night away | 
| And he sung as he drove her home and | 
| It was there that she would say | 
| If I could than I would save you | 
| And he smiled and turned away | 
| In six weeks they’re saying «I do» | 
| Oh, love just don’t go that way no more | 
| In life the seed becomes the tree | 
| Would take shape of a family | 
| We grow and we change | 
| And face the rain like you wouldn’t believe | 
| And through it all | 
| We’re standing tall | 
| And we just don’t say it enough | 
| If not for you, no we wouldn’t be standing at all | 
| And now it’s nineteen-ninety-sumthin' | 
| How the hell did we end up here? | 
| Four kids and a few jobs later | 
| And the pictures fill the pages | 
| It’s been hard, oh it’s been hard | 
| But you’d be a fool to give it up | 
| Cause you know that what we’ve got is bigger than the two of us | 
| It’s been hard, oh it’s been hard | 
| But it’s bigger than the two of us | 
| And I will hold you in my arms | 
| When you feel like giving up | 
| Love just don’t go that way no more | 
| In life the seed becomes the tree | 
| Would take shape of a family | 
| We grow and we change | 
| And face the rain like you wouldn’t believe | 
| And through it all | 
| We’re standing tall | 
| And we just don’t say it enough | 
| If not for you, then we wouldn’t be standing at all | 
| And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin' | 
| We made it here my dear | 
| Grandkids and the mortgage paid off | 
| Is this what dreams are made of? | 
| Cause baby we made it | 
| Yeah baby you saved me | 
| But nothing could save him | 
| From the ambulance that day | 
| When he went away | 
| The heart attack was sharp | 
| He didn’t feel no pain | 
| If you saw him now then what | 
| What would you say | 
| I love you and I miss you | 
| I owe you everything | 
| And I hope you know you saved me | 
| Oh mother | 
| Mother please don’t cry | 
| Cause you know I miss him too | 
| I didn’t even say goodbye | 
| And though he’s gone, I know he’s gone | 
| He lives on in all of us | 
| And I will hold you when you cry | 
| Because that’s what he would have done | 
| Yeah, that’s what he would have done | 
| Yeah, that’s what he would have done | 
| It’s been hard, oh it’s been hard | 
| But he’s a part of all of us | 
| And we will hold you when you cry | 
| Because that’s what family does |
