| 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 |
