A song about how my boys often remind me of what really matters in life.
Lyrics
I wish that I could see the world through your eyes
Everywhere that you turn there's a new surprise
All the wonder and beauty is magnified
Not a care or concern or worry in your head
From when you open your eyes to when you go to bed
You're a picture of joy personified
Every thought that weighs me down
And each anxiety
Are swept away like yesterday
When you say to me...
Let's run outside, c'mon let's play
Daddy come with me, it's a blue sky day
Let's play some catch, I'll race you over there
Can you toss me way up in the air?
How 'bout it Dad, can we get a dog?
I betcha twenty bucks I can catch that frog
And even when all I can see is gray
You help me see beyond the clouds
And then even I can say, "it's a blue sky day"
Sitting down at my desk, another bill to pay
And I watch another deadline slip away
And it feels like another hope is shattered
Then you come down the stairs with that impish grin
You say, "Daddy I just need you to tuck me in"
And I'm reminded of the things that really matter
And even though tomorrow brings it's own calamities
I know that when I need it most
You'll say these words to me...
And as I watch you growing tall I can tell some day
You'll begin to see the world in a different way
And when the world has brought you to your knees
I hope I can remind you that, you used to say to me...
