It's so late its early    He straightens his tie    The morning news is on the TV    He rubs his weary eyes    There is so much behind these eyes    There is so much behind       He takes the same route to town    He lets his mind run around    Back about 20 years ago    He's got a brand new baby boy    I know he has got your eyes dear    But I think he's got my heart       [Chorus]    Maybe someone should tell him    that life don't always give back    just what you put in, 'cause if it did    it seems you should be the richest man    You've given me faithfulness and you    Taught me to always be true    Well all I have to give back is to    remind you of you       He held my hand 'til it hurt him    But then it hurt to let me go    To watch and to love from a distance    it always hurts when we grow    That's what he always said    I think there is so much ahead       [Chorus]       But in life be strong, because there are easier wrongs    And much tougher rights    Well when you needed to be gone, I felt a need to belong    And be a part of your life       So maybe life, it gives back just what you put in    And maybe I am the richest man, for just knowing you    If I could be half as faithful, and half as true    I still wouldn't come close to saying how much I love...    You know I never minded them saying how much I look like...    And all I have to give back to you    is to remind you of you    just a little bit of you
