Song For Owen

(Schmit/Walden/Linderman) Do you remember Not so long ago When I could just pick you up And warm your soul We'd sit and talk about the difference between The world of bad and good And I was doing the best I could Bedtime stories Read you off to sleep Wishing you all my love And sweet, sweet dreams I'd wait until you were closing your eyes Just because I thought I should And I'd wonder while I watched you breathe What this crazy world had up its sleeve I was doing the best I could "Time Flies"--So the saying goes But I don't know if it's true Because every dayd is so full of life And so much of it is you Now you stand-so tall And look straight in my eyes Longing with all your might To be strong and wise So on summer nights when you're driving away I hope you understand That this new found freedom you have earned Worries me till you return And I'm doing the best I can And my love for you will never end
