Ben

Ben, you arrived just in time to see
The world spinning fast
And life running too fast

Ben, I heard you want to talk
Your mom told me you're doing great
And looking at your pictures makes me miss you

Ben, one day you'll grow up
Get tired of toys and throw them away
Come back with sadness under your arm

Teeth fall out
And legs grow too much
Ghosts fly
After the light fades
But there's no mystery, no
No reason to cry

Ben, don't stop listening to the records I gave you
Don't miss a good day of waves in the sea
Don't forget to visit me, you little rascal

Ben, don't care about what they'll say
Don't listen to too much advice
Not even the nonsense I'm telling you now

Teeth fall out
And legs grow too much
Ghosts fly
After the light fades
People scream
People talk too much
But there's no mystery, no
No reason to cry

Life is good
When you play too much
When you sing
And don't look back
Just don't forget
That I'm your partner
And that's it
