Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La-la-la, la-la-la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la, oh
[Verse 2]
I remember the first day I met you
We were so young
You were a blessing, there was no guessing
You were the one
Love was so crazy, we had a baby
And said our vows
That's when you told me, should anything happen
I can hear you now
[Verse 3]
You told me if the sun comes up and I'm not home
Be strong
If I'm not beside you
Do your best to carry on
Tell the kids about me
When they're old enough to understand
Tell them that their daddy was
A good man, yeah
[Verse 4]
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, ah
[Verse 5]
First anniversary, remember we
Chose a star
And as I stand under it, I can't help but wonder if
You see it where you are
For whatever reason, we don't see the seasons
Change again
Go there with peace of mind, we'll meet on the other side
'Cause true love don't end
[Verse 6]
Now, baby, If the sun comes up and you're not home
I'll be strong
If you're not beside me
I'll do my best to carry on
I'll tell the kids about you
When they're old enough to understand
I'll tell them that their daddy was
A good man
[Verse 7]
La-da-da, la-da-da, oh
La-da-da, la-da-da, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 8]
Two eyes looking up at me
Pointing to the picture like, "Where is he?"
"Mama, are you okay?"
"What did the paper say"
"To make you cry that way?"
It said your daddy lived for you
And your daddy died for you
And I'll do the same
[Verse 9]
Now, baby, if the sun comes up and I'm not home
Be strong
If I'm not beside you
Do your best to carry on
Tell your kids about me
When they're old enough to understand
Tell them that your daddy was
A good man, a good man
[Verse 10]
La-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
