Frank Turner - Song For Eva Mae lyrics

Eva Mae, I remember the date you were born It was the summer Your mum and dad called me up to say how proud They were Voices wringing with the love of a new born child Light shining in their eyes, expectant smiles Eva Mae, Well your father and I have been friends Many years Watch the world around us change, Hoped our hopes, feared our fears He asked me to watch you, as you grow Hold your hand through the highs and lift you up through the lows Now Eva Mae, Don't you judge me too hard I try to be a good man to be the best with what I got Eva Mae, I will teach you what I know And watch over you everywhere that you go Eva Mae, I have made many mistakes In my time Built my share of bridges and broken hearts I've told lies I have not always followed my own advice I've fallen flat But Eva darling sometimes that's just life Eva Mae, With the way that I am I might not Much be around But I'll stop in from time to time to share The things I've learnt You should keep your friends and family close And always always always try to say yes And we can not ever one of us be perfect But darling we can try our best Now Eva Mae, I won't ever judge your heart, Just try to be a good girl and do the best with what you got Now Eva Mae, I will teach you what I know, And watch over you everywhere you will go Everywhere you will go
