Intro (See the verse for timing.) (x2) Verse If you want to try and step into another kind of shoe I’ll be right behind And he might be a little bit like me but more of you well I hope that as he grew What if she would maybe look like you so beautiful that I’d have two Well they’ll grow slower than the wind blows but faster as each day goes by And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast You should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone Interlude (See the verse for timing.) Verse Well I guess that probably if I knew then I'd finally understand when because “I told you so” became a reason. To know is too imposing, and life is what’s been chosen - but not by you and me And so then - we watch them come and go and quietly they grow into someone just like you And I know that I can only say so many times that I won't ever let you down until I show you And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day and I would have you back Until then I can share - I’ll wait for when there's time to spare but it always goes too fast And every time they run past me and straight to you I understand cause I would too But you should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone Outro (See the verse for timing.)
