Uncle Sem
It's a day before your birthday,
It's your second time around
And I can not help to think back on that time
Oh you weren't even born yet,
But she was fighting for your life
Now here we are, you're talking all about
Oh I never thought I'd love you like I do
I'm seeing parts that I forgot about my youth
So if you ever need reminding
Or you need a helping hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
In the way that you are smiling I see little bits of me
Bits of me I've lost some time ago
For the brightness in your eyes there ain't no shadows I can see
And I'd do anything to keep it so
But I know that you'll have demons of your own
And I can't keep 'em from you when you're grown
So if you ever just need loving
Or you need a guiding hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
Oh won't you play a little longer
Keep your mind a little younger
Don't you hurry, oh just take your time
Make sure you're shine a little brighter
Every day that you're around
'Cause there's no use in never living for today
One day you will be a grown man,
And I might not be around
And maybe you'll have children of your own
Maybe you'll become a banker,
Or a free man just like me
And never truly live by any rules
But however you decide to spend your time
Make sure that all you do you'll do with pride
And if you ever just need loving,
Or you need a helping hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
It's your second time around
And I can not help to think back on that time
Oh you weren't even born yet,
But she was fighting for your life
Now here we are, you're talking all about
Oh I never thought I'd love you like I do
I'm seeing parts that I forgot about my youth
So if you ever need reminding
Or you need a helping hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
In the way that you are smiling I see little bits of me
Bits of me I've lost some time ago
For the brightness in your eyes there ain't no shadows I can see
And I'd do anything to keep it so
But I know that you'll have demons of your own
And I can't keep 'em from you when you're grown
So if you ever just need loving
Or you need a guiding hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
Oh won't you play a little longer
Keep your mind a little younger
Don't you hurry, oh just take your time
Make sure you're shine a little brighter
Every day that you're around
'Cause there's no use in never living for today
One day you will be a grown man,
And I might not be around
And maybe you'll have children of your own
Maybe you'll become a banker,
Or a free man just like me
And never truly live by any rules
But however you decide to spend your time
Make sure that all you do you'll do with pride
And if you ever just need loving,
Or you need a helping hand
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
Call me up for I am Uncle Sem
