I like the way she calls me baby Hair pulled back to show her smile Coming in late she always says maybe We should wait a little while I was hoping maybe one day We could have ourselves a child And name him after her great grandfather Any thing makes her smile I know I've seen it before All the lessons I've learned All the money I've burned All the things that I thought were but they weren't All were trials that added up to her All these lovers making compromise Trying to make sacrifice for love Hoping things will only get better and better but they don't Only poised to see them fall I know I've seen it before All the lessons I've learned All the money I've burned All the things that I thought were but they weren't All were trials that added up to her All the lessons I've learned All the money I've burned All the things that I thought were but they weren't She emanates light Hits I realize What I do not deserve I do not deny
