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
