Cant remember my first memory of you You were always there And now I know I never knew you well But I was just a kid And you were always there to pick me up everytime I fell And you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feet When you tucked me into bed to say my prayers And Ill bet I never thanked you among all the other things That I took for granted cause you were always there Yes, you were always there So we never took the time For you to tell me your dreams And me to tell you mine And we never took the time To talk of love and happiness And life and death and heartache And pain and loneliness Why I dont even know if you were happy Or if you could have been Or if you could have one wish what would it be Or what would you do differently if you could live again And were you glad that you gave life to me You might also likeAnd Id give anything to tell you am I glad that you were born But youll never hear the words Ive learned to say Cause before I got to know you died of loneliness And they tell me I grew up and moved away Yes, you were always there So we never took the time For you to tell me your dreams And me to tell you mine There were so many things that could have been But now well never share Cause kids dont know much And you were always there No, kids dont know much And you were always there
always, tell, never, took, kid
