Babies and Life Lessons

from A November Life by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

Two little hands, two little eyes
What surprises do you have in store?
Will you run along this road of life?
Will you stumble along the way?

Soon you'll grow and you will start to talk
Then comes school, girl, you're going fast
I never wanna see you cry
But I know that it's a part of life

You will run, play on swing sets and make many friends
You will play games of hide and seek
You will go on class field trips and ride on the bus
Have birthday parties

You will miss words on spelling tests, drop your lunch tray
You will have fallouts with your friends
You can come home and tell it all to me
I'll never leave, I love you too much

Four more years and then you'll graduate
Looking back on all the times you had
Skipping school you locked your keys in your car
Homecoming TPing the teacher's house

Then you'll go and start your final school
Graduate and you'll be on your own
Get a job and meet a man who is true
Something new, old, borrowed, something blue

I will walk you down the aisle tears on my face
I will give you away to him
You will go off and start your lives as one
Have your own children

You will have all the joys of waking up at two
When the baby is wanting food
You will tell them the same thing I told to you
"I'll never leave, I love you too much"

I open up my eyes and I realize this is the first time
That I have, have seen you, and you are, you're smiling up at me
I realize I have been day dreaming about all you will
You will do in this life, and I know time will fly and I
Don't want to miss a minute of your life, please let me in
I’m always here for you, and know that I love you
