Nils Lofgren - Little On Up lyrics

I remember your birthday Your first breath out of the womb We were all crying, you were screaming It was the most beautiful tune God needed mother in heaven Suddenly it was just you and I I felt so shattered and useless If not for you, I'd have surely died Yeah it's a mountain when life changes forever Your mom's love was such I felt erased But someone had to feed and love you Though overwhelmed I did it face to face Yeah we did it face to face Somehow we found enough That no matter what love, we'd have it always From little on up You were reading and writing Before your first day of school You weren't afraid of the growing And I felt so proud of you Remember your first boyfriend Knew no man could ever be enough We talked the whole thing through We stayed close from little on up Yeah we did it face to face Somehow we found enough That no matter what love we'd have it always From little on up Someday we'll be sittin' round in heaven Mother will smile and say we did good Through the good times, the bad times, and the last times We loved each other hard as we could Yeah we did it face to face Somehow we found enough That no matter what love we'd have it always From little on up No matter what love, we'd have it always From little on up
