For My Kids

Hard enough to say what I feel for you
Let alone write it down in a song
You're the sun in my morning, the ocean of blue
The melody which ripples along
You're my tea in the morning
Cheese on toast at night
You're the bank statement that balances
With what I say is right
End of my rainbow, pot of gold
All the treasures I could possibly hold

Just remember who you are
You're someone who's special
Someone who's going far
Just remember who you are
And if you stumble and fall
I'll be there when you call
No matter wherever you are

Not always good and well behaved
And many's the time my temper has been frayed
Many's the time I've put you to bed
And heartily wished you weren't mine
And then a small voice calls me deep in the night
And I stumble from bed and I switch on the light
To find you, small and fragile
Leaning for love, and craving my company

Just remember who you are
You're someone who's special
Someone who's going far
Just remember who you are
And if you stumble and fall
I'll be there when you call
No matter wherever you are

I'm not saying I can make it right
Growing up is a bumpy road
Long are the days and cold are some nights
But maybe I can lighten the load

Just remember who you are
You're someone who's special
Someone who's going far
Just remember who you are
And if you stumble and fall
I'll be there when you call
No matter wherever you are

Just remember who you are
You're someone who's special
Someone who's going far
Just remember who you are
And if you stumble and fall
I'll be there when you call
No matter wherever you are
