Sitting on a front porch swing
Your arms around me, everything
I catch your head, right shoulder side
"I'm gonna rest my eyes", she said.
"Well, okay", said I.
I start to recall, tugging on the straps of my overalls
I step inside to pour a wine
I can hear you from the kitchen, my beard is itchin'
As I hold the door for the best little 9 year old
Here's to life, here's to us
Here's to open hearts but not enough
All relying on one day
Here's to me, here's to you
Here's to whatever will happen and what we'll do
All of it all then it goes away
It's only for today
Leaving on this ride with you
I listen to the way I speak to you
Now that we're all here, it seems the same time each year
I learn and love and keep it all clear
Here's to life, here's to us
Here's to open hearts but not enough
All relying on one day
Here's to me, here's to you
Here's to whatever will happen and what we'll do
All of it all then it goes away
It's only for today
