Remember the early years
Babies having babies,
but we made it through
Those times you could not hold on
That's when I held on for two
I did it all for you.

CHORUS:
I'd fight to the end to keep you sweetly
To make this life complete
I could hold you for hours
One of my great superpowers
I'd put it all aside to see you smile
Always thought you'd be there,
There for awhile

When we were learning how to make it
This young family of four
Met a lot of hard knocks
Not too many open doors
And even when you ran
I'd wait, though I didn't understand

CHORUS

And as years went by and
You'd slip into your silence
Head or heart hurt
I was by your side
So strong were these
Ties that bind

CHORUS

But one day, when my turn came
And I started to fall
Cause life seemed to be turning grey
You just let me slide and
Slip down all alone
You simply turned and walked away

Always thought you'd be there baby
There for awhile
