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
|
|
