Lyrics:
Can't remember my first mem'ry of you you were always thereAnd now I know I never knew you wellBut I was just a kid and you were always there to pick me up everytime I fellAnd you always warmed a blanket to wrap around my feetWhen you tucked me into bed to say my prayersAnd I'll bet I never thanked you among all the other thingsThat I took for granted cause you were always thereYes you were always there so we never took the timeFor you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mineAnd we never took the time to talk of love and happinessAnd life and death and heartache and pain and lonelinessWhy I don't even know if you were happy or if you could have beenOr if you could have one wish what would it beOr what would you do differently if you could live againAnd were you glad that you gave life to meAnd I'd give anything to tell you am I glad that you were bornBut you'll never hear the words I've learned to sayCause before I got to know you died of lonelinessAnd they tell me I grew up and moved awayYes you were always there so we never took the timeFor you to tell me your dreams and me to tell you mineThere were so many things that could have been but now we'll never shareCause kids don't know much and you were always thereNo kids don't know much and you were always there
