Timothy B. Schmit - Song For Owen lyrics

(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
