L Cars - Some Brighter World, Behind This One

For You, For Forty More

A New England April, 1982
And you emerged like the leaves
On the maple trees
The most important day of my life
But I wouldn't know it
For another 25 years

I was waiting
Even if I never knew what for
For you, for forty more
I was waiting
For someone unlike I've ever known before
For you, for forty more

A Baltimore April, two score away
Colleen, Miles and Will
Buttercups and daffodils
You are our diamond, brilliant and strong
Still unfinished
This house is so much brighter when you're in it

C'mon, Miles
Go, Will

We were waiting
Eager for the sound of an opening door
For you, for forty more
We were waiting
Excited footsteps racing across the floor
To you, for forty more

We are waiting
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you
We are waiting
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you
We are waiting
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you
We were waiting for you

Happy birthday, Mom
I love you, Mom
