Oh child
will you ever get by
Will you listen to things I say
We don't know the difference
from your wrong or right
We'll learn it along the way
Oh child
will you drink in the night
Will you make all the
same mistakes
Do you get around
with chasing all the highs
Forget all on your lowest day
And I know that I can't pretend
that I haven't had my regret
From the memories that I've kept
to the history I forget
Oh my father before he left
Oh there's one thing I wish he said
Oh child
just do what you love
cause you won't get this life again
Oh child oh child
No no no don't you worry
Oh child oh child
I know you'll be okay
Oh child oh child
No you won't get this life again
Oh child oh child
Oh child
will you travel the world
And see all of the things I missed
You can tell me all
about it when you're back
Like I always did
Oh child
maybe you can fall in love
with a husband or a wife
If you're happy when
the road is getting rough
I'll be happy there by your side
And I know that I can't pretend
that I haven't had my regret
From the memories
that I've kept
to the history I forget
Oh my father before he left
Oh there's one thing I wish he said
Oh child
just do what you love
cause you won't get this life again
No you won't get this life again
No you won't get this life again
Oh child oh child
Oh child oh child
No no no don't you worry
Oh child oh child
I know you'll be okay
Oh child oh child
Oh child oh child
Oh child
will you know this song
When I'm gonna fade away
Will you sing it back
I know it word for word
back to your child one day
No no no no no no
don't you worry
Oh child oh child
No no no don't you worry
Oh child oh child
I know you'll be okay
Oh child oh child
No you won't get this life again
Oh child oh child
No you won't get this life again
