Can You Say

Remember that day Way back in grade school You walked me to my classroom You looked me in the eye, And whispered in my ear, “Just be you, my dear.” Flashback a couple more years When you took me to my first concert You put me on your shoulders and yelled, “See what I see.” Am I crazy to think that: I haven’t said I love you to you in a while? And I’m sorry for that, But can you… Can you tuck me into bed and kiss me goodnight? Can you say that life is just jolly, sweet ride? Can you tell me that you’ll stay by my side? And that you’ll always be with me wherever I go? Can you lie for me, for my happiness? Can you swear that we will always be like this? Can you tell me that my dreams will always come true? And can you tell me that your best day was when I was with you? Arms shaking, legs trembling, I walked onto stage Nervous for messing up, I saw you wave I smiled and you winked at me That gave me all the strength needed. Cheering for my name Not backing down, even if others stared You were my lighthouse, guiding me with love Following my footsteps just because Covering for me, when no one else cared Watching over me, my very own angel You’re everything to me, but can you… Can you tuck me into bed and kiss me goodnight? Can you say that life is just jolly, sweet ride? Can you tell me that you’ll stay by my side? And that you’ll always be with me wherever I go? Can you lie for me, for my happiness? Can you swear that we will always stay like this? Can you tell me that my dreams will always come true? Can you tell me that I can be anything I set my mind to? Can you tell me to keep dreaming, and never lose hope? And can you tell me that your best day was when I was with you? You held on when others let go. You marched forward, even when they said no You stay with me, even if I’m wrong And I can’t tell you how much I love you But… I love you from the bottom of my heart And that will never change. It was there from the start My love for you is bigger than the sea And we’ll always stay side by side Just you wait and see No matter where I go I swear you’ll always be with me. I hope you realize that, all of our dreams will come true By far the best day I’ve ever had, was when I spent it with you
