Lyrics

Another year goes passing by, I watch you growing older
You're the apple of your mamas eye, put your head upon her shoulder
I've kept you up way past the time, a father has the right too
But tomorrow I'm back on the road, tonight I get to be with you

Time keeps on unravelling, I'm writing songs and practicing
But these words don't mean anything
If they can't bring me home to you, again

Together we fought dragons, on spaceships we sang lullabies
rode horses pulling wagons, ate ice cream cake and pumpkin pie
The power that you hold inside, it's been alive forever
It's a power like the rising tide, it's a power you can't measure

Time keeps on unravelling, I'm writing songs and practicing
But these words don't mean anything
If they can't bring me home to you, again

I've watched you grow from very shy, with no one you could talk to
To an artist with a masters eye, now everybody wants you
and I'm so proud to see you've grown, to the person who's in front of me
from the child that I used to know, to the adult that I knew you'd be

Time keeps on unravelling, I'm writing songs and practicing
These words don't mean anything
If they can't bring me home to you, again

When the day my time on Earth is through, on the days when I'm no longer here
When I can't walk beside you, when all my strength just disappears
Remember where we came from, remember I'm a part of you
Remember all the time we spent
and the love from me you always knew
