Eva Mae, I remember the date you were born |
|
It was the summer |
|
Your mum and dad called me up to say how proud |
|
They were |
|
Voices wringing with the love of a new born child |
|
Light shining in their eyes, expectant smiles |
|
Eva Mae, Well your father and |
|
I have been friends |
|
Many years |
|
Watch the world around us change, |
|
Hoped our hopes, feared our fears |
|
He asked me to watch you, as you grow |
|
Hold your hand through the highs and lift you up through the lows |
|
Now Eva Mae, |
|
Don't you judge me too hard |
|
I try to be a good man to be the best with what |
|
I got Eva |
|
Mae, I will teach you what |
|
I know And watch over you everywhere that you go |
|
Eva Mae, I have made many mistakes |
|
In my time |
|
Built my share of bridges and broken hearts |
|
I've told lies |
|
I have not always followed my own advice |
|
I've fallen flat |
|
But Eva darling sometimes that's just life |
|
Eva Mae, With the way that |
|
I am I might not |
|
Much be around |
|
But I'll stop in from time to time to share |
|
The things |
|
I've learnt |
|
You should keep your friends and family close |
|
And always always always try to say yes |
|
And we can not ever one of us be perfect |
|
But darling we can try our best |
|
Now Eva Mae, |
|
I won't ever judge your heart, |
|
Just try to be a good girl and do the best with what you got |
|
Now Eva Mae, |
|
I will teach you what |
|
I know, And watch over you everywhere you will go |
|
Everywhere you will go |
