There will be a day he'll come for me
And then I'll be but a memory
There in your mind for you to see
Just how much you meant to me
The time we've had and cherished too
I’ll be a thought away when your feel'n blue
Or when you need a smile to see you through
Think of times shared by just me and you
Maybe some times didn't seem so good
That’s when my feelings were misunderstood
I was only doing things, as a father should
To keep you from hurting, as I knew you would
I tried to instill to you all I have learned
As you may see some day in a memory returned
All that I wanted as my broken heart yearned
Was for you to listen to me so you wouldn't get burned
As you grow older I hope you see that it's true
That everything I've done, was for to give you
But there came a day I knew not what to do
All I can give you are memories of me and you
I hope that will be forever enough
And wish for many more to be made |
