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 of 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
