C
I hope you spend your days
Am
writing verses on your page.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
F
Taking showers in the cold
C
and your glasses filled to their brim.
C
And I hope you treat your heart
Am
real nice and real smart.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
F
Can't be worthless seein' stars,
C
buying rocky-road for me and him.
G
Stay in that water and
F
keep where you're feeling fine but
C
I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine and I
F
swim like my father
C
and remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines.
C
I hope you realize
Am
why the clouds are always crying.
May your life be a Walden Pond dive.
F
Shaking flowers at the ground
C
while you live the life you did at five.
C
And I hope it's testified
Am
for you the best had been denied.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
F
May you find your love tonight
C
and the times you have are never grim.
G
Stay in that water and
F
keep where you're feeling fine but
C
I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine and I
F
swim like my father
C
and remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines.

I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket.

They're all up on my wall.

And I've still got those paintings that you did for my birthday
C
way back in the fall.
