Just a boy You will not remember
Half the things You're going through right now.
How can I explain to you Things don't always go the way we
want them to I know you feel confused.
Your mother never wanted this for you.
She did her best but that he wouldn't do.
You and I are brought together now by wedding vows.
Vows which I have also made to you.
Flesh and blood though we are not I will love you as my own.
Now God's love is all we've got Together we can build a home.
Flesh and blood though we are not I will love you as my own.
Now God's love is all we've got Together we can build a home.

Gtr1
All I want for you is to remember this
Never will I turn my back on you.
This world will lie to you and take you for a ride
How can I protect you from this path?
Only God can show you that the lights in life burn fast
Never forsake your precious days of youth.
I promise I will do my best for you.
Listen to me, and I will listen to you.
