Don't Wish for Tomorrow Today

I can't think of a time when you weren't by my side I've watched you grow so tall Though your vision is weak you can see to my soul So we don' have to speak at all Like a shadow you followed me tight to my side Asking me wrong from right You distract me when I try to put you to bed So we talk all through the night Well listen to me i've some words that are free But they cost me dear to learn Don't let your feet touch the ground Dance like a child when there's no one around And love the one that you marry someday Just don't wish for tomorrow today We played games that you won, there were times that you lost But you learned to lose with a smile And to not be afraid to admit when you're wrong And you learned how to swallow your pride Well listen to me i've some words that are free But they cost me dear to learn Don't let your feet touch the ground Dance like a child when there's no one around And love the one that you marry someday Just don't wish for tomorrow today One day i'll be gone and i'll leave you behind And you'll have to stand on your own Though we're heavens apart i'll be right in your heart And in all the things I have shown Cos you listened to me, to the words that were free To the words that were yours to learn Don't let your feet touch the ground Dance like a child when there's no one around And love the one that you marry someday Just don't wish for tomorrow today
