Cute (G) A funny dragon drawing
Was all I had for you
This tiny gift for pictures
Was all I ever knew
In return you gave to me
A gentle hug I hardly felt
I didn't show it really
But my heart began to melt
And one sad little day
That I didn't get at first
But I learned the hard way
How losing a fish can hurt
I didn't know what to do
So I just held your hand
You stood and softly cried
A sight I still can't stand
And I've tried to fill a void that wasn't there
And I've tried to make this unfair life
a little bit more fair
And no matter how I mess it up
and no matter how I dress it up
I've worried 'til I'm weak in the knees
And here come future memories
Some years have walked on by
And you're growing up so fast
I wish time would take a break
'Cause these years they just won't last
And now that junior high has come
And the pond is getting small
And sometimes I really think
That you really do know it all
Maybe I think too much
And maybe not enough
But, how could something half my size
Be so frickin' tough
Though I slip and blunder
And land square on my face
I'll keep getting back up
To help you win this race
And I'll try and keep a hold on to this world
And I'll try and keep the past clear that you
were once a little girl
And no matter where your path goes
And no matter what I think I know
I know it will never be a breeze
And here come future memories
If it means anything to know
You mean as much to me
as if you were my own
And someday when you think of me
If it's not too much to ask
Say to yourself, "He was all right... for an ass."
And I've tried to fill a void that wasn't there
And I've tried to make this unfair life
a little bit more fair
And no matter how I mess it up
and no matter how I dress it up
I've worried 'til I'm weak in the knees
And here come future memories
Damn, girl sometimes you're hard to please
And here come future memories
Let me guess; I annoy you when I sneeze
And here come future memories
