I Wish That You Could Live Forever

And That I Could Be There Too

And That There'd Be Generations

To Look After Me And You



But I Know That Isn't Likely

So I Guess I'll Say It Now

That I'll Love You Past The Boundaries

That Time And Breath Allow



You Were My First Memory

We Were Playing In The Grass

Like The Colors Of Your Apron

Love Was Colored In To Last



Chorus



And I'm Glad The Light Still Hits Your Face

And I'm Glad Every Time You Answer The Phone

For You Life And Home Have Never Been An Easy Place

And I'm Glad To Be Part Of Your Own You Were The Foundation

That We Built My Life Upon

First With Dad And Cass And Mary

Then One Was Sick And One Was Gone People Only Get One Family

And A Lot Of Them Are Rough

I'm Glad The One I Got Was One

That Wasn't Hard To Love I Hope I Have Your Toughness

Along With Your Will To Be Kind

And Know As I Am One Of Yours

That You Are One Of Mine



Chorus
