Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hi Rachel, just wanted to say hi
And I hope everything's going well for you
And you're have, having a good time in New York
So, sorry I missed you
If you get a chance, sweetie, call me
[Verse 2]
You were early every weekday to take me home
Your car was always the closest to Washington Road
Like a blanket, I was wrapped in your arms, so warm
They say Boston's the coldest, but I wouldn't know
[Verse 3]
There was no falling down without you around to pick me up
And no tears that fell without your help to change my luck
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
About how to love someone wholeheartedly
[Verse 4]
You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
Built up a world that was all about us
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
The warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too much, mmm
That love me too much, mmm
[Verse 5]
You took over for your family at just 16
Putting words onto paper, working tirelessly
You said, your life should just be easy, love
I've worked enough for all of us
Just smile and shoot for stars above and read
[Verse 6]
'Cause there was no falling down without you around to pick me up
And no tears that fell without your help to dry them up
And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough
About how to love someone wholeheartedly
[Verse 7]
You soldiered storms that you never spoke of
Built up a world that was all about us
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch
The warm steady shake of two hands
That love me too much, mmm
That love me too much, mmm
[Verse 8]
Can I hold you, can I hold your hand forever
And never let it go?
I might never let it go
And can I ask you
Can I ask you everything
That I ever want to know?
And, Nana, can you show me how to
[Verse 9]
Soldier big storms and not ever give up
And build up a world that is all about love
And not close my eyes when the water gets rough
To have warm steady hands just like you
That love me too much, mmm
That love me too much, mmm
[Verse 10]
That I'm worthy of, mmm
That love me too much, mmm
That love me too much, mmm
[Verse 11]
It was so nice to see you at my party
And having you sit with me
And we were so close
[Verse 12]
That I'm worthy of, mmm
That love me too much
[Verse 13]
And the singing, the song, I'm so delighted
So anyway, honey, I love you so much
Okay, now, bye
