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, and you show me that it's beautiful Never had to ask you to sing 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 First guitar, and I just wasn't getting it right You showed me how to play it, said it doesn't happen overnight And in a couple years, I come home and show you how I play "Blackbird" And though I miss a couple notes you still say That it was the best you'd 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 words to sing You're standing right in front of me and slipping away 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
