Here's Looking at You, Kid

Son let me tell you a story about a boy who was trying to be a man Just a young hot shot who was sitting on top of the world he was living in Didn't have a clue I didn't know about you I'd hit the town and knock a few down, take somebody home Another notch in the belt, a prize on a shelf, a name I didn't know There'd been a few But I'm breaking through To the games I played and hard mistakes that led me here to you To the bitter trail of heartaches and every sorry ass excuse What I was ain't what I am, and I ain't hiding' from the past But I'll raise a glass to all the days ahead Here's looking at you, kid All those times I rolled the dice and walked away alone Now I'm trading in my recklesss heart for restless nights at home And it's just as well But I'm scared as hell I never dreamed I'd see the things I see when I see you And boy it seems that we've both got some growing up to do I took my time But now you're mine To the games I played and hard mistakes that led me here to you To the bitter trail of heartaches and every sorry ass excuse What I was ain't what I am, and I ain't hiding' from the past But I'll raise a glass to all the days ahead Here's looking at you, kid Those days are disappearing baby Now I'm seeing clearly for the first time in a while That man I want to be I pray that he can hang around this time To the games I played and hard mistakes that led me here to you To the bitter trail of heartaches and every sorry ass excuse What I was ain't what I am, and I ain't hiding' from the past But I'll raise a glass to all the days ahead I'll raise a glass to all the days ahead Here's looking at you, kid
