SO I DON'T MIND

TELLIN' YOU

I'M SCARED TO DEATH

THE DOCTOR'S GOIN' IN

ON THE TWENTY- FIFTH

IT'S THE SAME THING

MY DADDY HAD

THANK GOD

THEY CAUGHT IT FAST

BUT IF SOMETHIN'

SHOULD HAPPEN

STOP IN SOMETIME

AND SAY HELLO

TO KATHERINE

YOU AND MARY ANN

COULD ALWAYS

KEEP HER LAUGHIN'

SHE'S GONNA NEED

A LOT OF THAT

TAKE HER OUT

TO A MOVIE

IT'S GONNA TAKE

SOME TIME

BEFORE SHE'S BACK ON

HER FEET

I KNOW YOU THINK

THAT I'LL BE FINE

AND I'M TALKIN' CRAZY

BUT THERE'S ALWAYS

THAT CHANCE

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKIN'

IF SOMETHIN'

SHOULD HAPPEN

LITTLE NATHAN'S

GROWIN' UP SO FAST

THIS NOVEMBER

HE'LL TURN TEN

HE WANTS TO PLAY

QUARTERBACK

I'M SUPPOSED

TO COACH HIS TEAM

THIS FALL

BUT I MAY NOT GET TO

AFTER ALL

HE'S GONNA

NEED SOMEONE

TO CATCH A PASS

AND TO THROW IT BACK

IF SOMETHIN'

SHOULD HAPPEN

OH PROMISE ME

YOU'LL TAKE THAT BOY

OUT CAMPIN'

THROW A LINE OUT

IN THE WATER

EVERY NOW AND THEN

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

THAT HE HAS

MAYBE ONCE

HE GETS OLDER

YOU COULD SIT AND HAVE

THAT FIRST COLD BEER

TOGETHER

AND TELL HIM

A COUPLE STORIES

ON HIS FATHER

HE'S ALWAYS KNOWN

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND

THAT'S WHY I'M ASKIN'

IF SOMETHIN'

SHOULD HAPPEN

I HOPE I LIVE

UNTIL I'M EIGHTY

AND I GET TO SEE

MY SON GET MARRIED

AND HAVE BABIES

AND MAKE A MILLION

MORE MEMORIES
