"For Maggie"

"For Maggie"

Lifes not always easy...sometimes you just want to break down and cry,
but you have to look at that special someone next to you.... and search for clear blue skies.

Things can beat you up...they can toss you around,
and the cold can feel colder.... and kick you when your down.

A closing chapter is only a closing chapter..... not the bitter end,
and the story of your life continues anew and it's ok to find love again.

(CHORUS)
CAUSE BABY DON'T YOU SEE......All you got to do is reach up and give me your hand,
thats why I'm here girl.... I was born to be your man....

Don't you know that someday....the cream will rise to the top,
and this love I have for you girl...It cant and wont be stopped.

The sun's going to shine on you girl....those warm amber rays,
and all your trouble's will be back there with your yesterdays.

Cause I adore you...baby I implore you,
take my hand....and start....again.

The tear drops will fall...and sometimes honey you'll think you've lost it all,
but sometimes to get the best thing in life will require us to climb the highest wall.

Don't you worry honey...don't be afraid to break a sweat,
cause I'll be there right beside you..till you get where you need to get.

When we're standing on top together hand in hand....looking down,
we'll see the promises of tommorow....and BABY THERE WILL BE NO MORE FROWNS.

(CHORUS)
CAUSE BABY DON'T YOU SEE......All you got to do is reach up and give me your hand,
thats why I'm here girl....OH GIRL I WAS BORN TO BE YOUR MAN....

Don't you know that someday....the cream will rise to the top,
and this love I have for you girl...It cant and wont be stopped.

The sun's going to shine on you girl....those warm amber rays,
and all your trouble's will be back there with your yesterdays.

Cause I adore you...baby I implore you,
take my hand....and start....again.

30 years later.....we're sitting on that front porch,
grateful for all the dreams....that we didn't give up and torch.

I look over at you...past those aged eyes...,
and I know you don't want to but you have to say goodbye.

I'm selfish as I always am...and don't want to let go,
and you whisper into my ear....it's ok....cause baby don't you know.....

(CHORUS)
CAUSE BABY DON'T YOU SEE......All you got to do is reach up and give me your hand,
thats why I'm your girl.... I was born to be your woman....

Don't you know that someday....the cream will rise to the top,
and this love I have for you ...It cant ...and wont be stopped.

The sun's going to shine on you boy....those warm amber rays,
and all your trouble's will be back there with your yesterdays.

Cause I adore you...baby I implore you,
take my hand....and start....(3 second pause) start again.
