When you met mom some days back then You fell in love and found your best friend Decided to marry and raise some kids I loved our days at the cottage in spring As years went by, and as we all aged Our family would laugh in the sun and the rain Then she fell ill and everything changed Thank you for lifting me up on those heavy days You were there for me When I was weak and I'd fall to my knees So now that I can breathe I'll carry you father, take my hand, follow my lead As we move along, this windy road Together we'll navigate life as we go We've been through it all, just you and me Father it's time to finish our story We'll travel the world by countryside Each new adventure it all comes to life We've been through it all, just you and me So let's carry each other, take my hand let's be care free You were there for me When I was weak and I'd fall to my knees So now that I can breathe I'll carry you father, take my hand, follow my lead You were there for me When I was weak and I'd fall to my knees So now that I can breathe I'll carry you father, take my hand, follow my lead Take my hand follow my lead Follow my lead
