about
I used to think writing a song about your kid was really naff - and then I had one...
lyrics
I never thought that you'd have so much baggage
the day I brought you home
I'm trying to restrain my own ambition,
take you down from the throne,
But I've been up and down these stairs so many times,
its hard to stay awake,
and I dream about the life we're gonna lead
and the plans we're gonna make
But as long as you're here with me,
the sky will never fall,
as long as you're here with me
I'm feeling ten feet tall,
as long as you're here with me
the world will never end...
I hope you'll always count me as your friend.
I'm gonna handle you so very gently,
I'm scared you're gonna break.
I know it's not exactly pioneering,
the route we chose to take,
But I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be,
and baby now you're here,
I'll hold you just as tightly as I can
to wash away your fears
But as long as you're here with me,
the sky will never fall,
as long as you're here with me
I'm feeling ten feet tall,
as long as you're here with me
the world will never end...
I hope you'll always count me as your friend.
And it hurts so much to see you cry,
It's more than I can Stand,
So when you snap your fingers
or stamp your feet,
I'm at your Command
The words I'm singing may be mediocre,
The meaning's from the soul.
It's just for now because when we are older
we may reverse the roles.
So take it and enjoy it while you can,
‘Cos soon you'll be ashamed,
and never let the world get you down
make sure you stake your claim
But as long as you're here with me,
the sky will never fall,
as long as you're here with me
I'm feeling ten feet tall,
as long as you're here with me
the world will never end...
I hope you'll always count me as
you're here with me,
the sky will never fall,
as long as you're here with me
I'm feeling ten feet tall,
as long as you're here with me
the world will never end...
I hope you'll always count me as your friend.
