Resa (Today Will Be Yesterday Soon)

Drove away slowly made a left at the light
Agreed to eat wherever, we were too drained to fight
The center of our universe now gone way too fast
The years didn't know how to last

She arrived and I learned just how much work it would be
But soon "father" was my identity
We read and we played, I fed her soup with a spoon
Today will be yesterday soon

She had the grace of a swan now where did all that come from
Said words like "antique" she should be sucking her thumb
Dressed up all in pink she always loved to pretend
I forgot that all things have to end

Papa, I love you, please take all my bad thoughts
Tell me a story, smooth over all life's rough spots
The days end like this like the night has a moon
Today will be yesterday soon

School wasn't easy 'cause on some days she was a wreck
Work was better, she said, because They give me a check
Still she earned a degree, it didn't take her too long
I told her to always finish strong

Should've known what was next when we stopped holding hands
She listens to hip hop, not alt country bands
She started to work and then I gave her my car
Who knew it would take her so far

Resa, I miss you, and I think about you
I can't be your everything, I know that it's true
But I was the one who announced at your birth
"It's a girl," I called out to the earth
