Oh Child

Oh child, will you ever get by? Will you listen to things I say? Will you know the difference from your wrong or right Will you learn it along the way? Oh child, will you drink in the night? Will you make all the same mistakes? Do you get around with chasing all the highs To forget all your lowest days And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regrets From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget Oh, my father before he left Oh, there's one thing I wish he said Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay (Oh child, oh child) no you won't get this life again (Oh child, oh child) Oh child, will you travel the world? And see all of the things I missed? You can tell me all about it when you're back Like I always did Oh child, maybe you can find love with a husband, or a wife If you're happy when the road is getting rough I'll be happy there by your side And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regrets From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget Oh, my father before he left Oh, there's one thing I wish he said Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again No, you won't get this life again No, you won't get this life again (Oh child, oh child) (Oh child, oh child) Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay (Oh child, oh child) (Oh child, oh child) Oh child, will you know this song When I'm gonna fade away? Will you sing it back And know it word for word Back to your child one day? No, no, don't you worry Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay (Oh child, oh child) no you won't get this life again (Oh child, oh child) No you won't get this life again
