Song For Remi

(album: Just For The Times - 2021)

"Rem, what's going on? We don't need this weather, do we?"
"No"
"We don't want it to start tipping down with rain while we're down the park"
"No"
"We want the sun, don't we?"
"Yeah"
"Oh well, we're gonna brave it, ain't we? I love ya"
"I love you too"
"I love you more though"
"I love you the most"
"Nah, no way"

You still hold my hand while we cross the street
You've got your mama's eyes but you got your smile from me
I'll tell you stories 'til you fall asleep
I wonder what would I do without you?
Who would I be?

'Cause I've raised you, you've raised me too
Carpet stained from muddy shoes
Clean your grazes, kiss your bruise
How's your day been? How was school?
I've raised you, you've raised me too
Ask about all my tattoos
Yeah, I've raised you, but you've raised me too

Mama said "you're your father's child"
(Mama said "you're your father's child)"
When you're showing off, trying to make us laugh
(Showing off, trying to make us laugh)
How could someone like you love someone like me?
(Someone like me)
I wonder, what would I do without you?
Who would I be?

'Cause I've raised you, you've raised me too
Carpet stained from muddy shoes
Clean your grazes, kiss your bruise
How's your day been? How was school?
I've raised you, you've raised me too
Ask about all my tattoos
So, I've raised you, but you've raised me too

Oh oh oh, yeah
Oh oh oh, yeah
Oh oh oh, yeah
Oh oh oh, yeah

'Cause I've raised you, you've raised me too
Carpet stained from muddy shoes
Clean your grazes, kiss your bruise
How's your day been? How was school?
I've raised you, you've raised me too
Ask about all my tattoos
Yeah, I've raised you, yeah I've raised you
But you've raised me too
