Lyrics Walker Texas Ranger - Hopes On Hold

Walker Texas Ranger

When I was younger, you were the light of my life
Just do the things I wanted, all the things that I liked
I know it must have been frustrating but that was the way you lie
And I can see now it was only cos' you loved me
I was in to superheroes more than anyone you see
I would make you wear a cape inside the stores just for me
I know that was probably embarrassing for people to see
But I can see now it’s only cos' you loved me
Everyday I go to your house on the way home from school
You would let me watch the shows all the kids thought were cool
And even though my mommy told you I was not allowed to
And I can see now it’s only cos' you loved me
I would spend the night at your house and not get any rest
Cos I would stay up super late and play and make a huge mess
You wouldn’t sleep too loud and I thought that was the best
And I can see now it’s only cos' you loved me
You smoked cigarettes although you promised me that you’d quit
You’d hide them from me so that I would not pitch a fit
You told me not to try 'em even a little bit
And I can see now it’s only cos' you loved me
The cancer has set in and your health slowly decline
Rehab and the surgeries to just stay alive
You wouldn’t let me up you said you were just fine
And I can see now it’s only cos' you loved me
Now it’s almost over and your starting to fade
And I think I’m proud of all the memories that we made
I wouldn’t come to see you but not because I was late
I was scared that you wouldn’t even know me
The last time I saw you, you were gasping for air
I grabbed your hand and kissed you so you’d know I was there
I know you said you’ll miss me and I shouldn’t be scared
And I know that because you always loved me
