We had your sister and you
In our late thirties, early forties
That's why this is on my mind
I see you growing so fast
I worry you'll outgrow me too
That's why I feel I'm running out of time
I know that the years will pass
I want to make every minute last
If I am here today, gone tomorrow
I need to know you'll be okay
I want to see you run, chase your dreams, have fun
Don't let the past get in your way
I'm here today
I used to think I could plan out my life to the very last moment
I have changed my ways
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life rarely goes as planned
That's why I've learned to love every day
I'll always do whatever I can
And I will always be your biggest fan
If I am here today, gone tomorrow
I need to know you'll be okay
I want to see you run, chase your dreams, have fun
Don't let the past get in your way
I'm here today
So if I'm tired and scared
And I seem unprepared when my time is up
Go easy on me
I will try not to cry, keep my head up high
But know, I never really wanted to leave
If I am here today, gone tomorrow
I know you'll be okay
I can see you run, chasing your dreams, having fun
Nothing's getting in your way
I'm so glad I'm here today
