Remembering

Four years old running up
The stairs to your bed
Thunder rolls and
I pull the covers over my head
You say it's just a storm, enjoy the show
You take me to the window
Show me that it's beautiful

Never had to ask you to sing for me
It's just the way to put me at ease

Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until
You can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

First guitar and I just wasn't getting it right
You showed me how to play it
Said it doesn't happen overnight
In a couple years I come home
And show you how I play Blackbird
Though I miss a couple notes
You still say it was the best you ever heard

Never had to ask you to smile for me
It's just the way you put me at ease

Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until
You can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

Now I have to ask you to sing for me
And I have to show you the worlds to see
You're standing right in front of me and slipping away

Dad, I'd ask you to smile for me
It's just the way you put me at ease

Bone for bone we are the same
Bones get tired and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until
You can't even remember my name
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
