about

A song about children growing, moving on, and what you cherish and leave behind for when that day comes.

lyrics

I look at all the pictures on the wall
They make me happy for awhile
But you moved on to live your life
The fact I got to know you makes me smile
When you looked up with those eyes
They melted my heart and stole my soul
And nothing mattered in the world,
Because your love made me whole

I always knew that you would fly away
A piece of me would go with, on the way
I cherish all the years of child's play
I'm glad I got to see who you are today

Skippin' rocks down by the lake
A ripple made for each day gone
All the years just flew on by
I knew i had to make an impression on
'cause i knew the day would come
When you drive off into the sun
I needed to pack you up some memories
For when the day comes that I am said and done

There's a time where we all fly away
And a piece of us will go along the way
So cherish all the years of child's play
I'm glad I got to see who you are today

Bye
