You said you couldn't keep me when you were seventeen |
|
Too young to be a father |
|
You kissed my hand and took your leave |
|
And you taught me how to make believe |
|
Make believe |
|
I was a gift to you from heaven |
|
Make believe that you would take me as your own |
|
Make believe that you would set the mark of what a man should be |
|
You taught me how to make believe |
|
And now that |
|
I've grown older |
|
I long for us to meet |
|
I have a million questions |
|
But most of all |
|
I want to see |
|
If all of it was make believe |
|
Another year has come and gone |
|
I am living with your family |
|
And I feel right at home |
|
In the place where |
|
I always wanted to be |
|
I'm going out this evening |
|
I check the mirror twice |
|
You stop me on the staircase |
|
You kiss my hand and say that |
|
I look beautiful tonight |
|
And I believe |
|
I was a gift to you from heaven |
|
And I believe that you would take me as your own |
|
I believe that you set the mark of what a man should be |
|
Now I don't have to make believe |
