| 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 |
