Remembering

Four years old, running up the stairs to your bed
Thunder rolls, and I pull the covers over my head
You say it's just a storm, enjoy the show
You take me to the window, and you show me that it's beautiful

Never had to ask you to sing for me
It's just the way you put me at ease

Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

First guitar, and I just wasn't getting it right
You showed me how to play it, said it doesn't happen overnight
And in a couple of years I come home and show you how I play "Blackbird"
And though I miss a couple notes
You still say that it was the best you'd ever heard

Never had to ask you to smile for me
It's just the way you put me at ease

Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

Now I have to ask you to sing for me
And I have to show you the words to sing
You're standing right in front of me and slipping away

Bone for bone, we are the same
Bones get tired, and they can't carry all the weight
We can talk until you can't even remember my name
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering
Daddy, don't you worry, I'll do the remembering

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
