Four years old running up the stairs to your bed
Thunder rolls, and I pull the covers over my head
You say it's just a storm, enjoy the show
You take me to the window, and you show me that it's beautiful
Never had to ask you to sing for me
It's just the way you put me at ease
Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
First guitar, and I just wasn't getting it right
You showed me how to play it, said it doesn't happen overnight
And in a couple years, I come home and show you how I play "Blackbird"
And though I miss a couple notes you still say
That it was the best you'd ever heard
Never had to ask you to smile for me
It's just the way you put me at ease
Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Now I have to ask you to sing for me
And I have to show you the words to sing
You're standing right in front of me and slipping away
Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
