Honey
can you tell me
why exactly
you're being so hard on yourself?
Can you really tell me why?
I'd like to help you
if that's okay.
I won't mess with you
I'll just simply
keep your worries at bay.
I mean yes
I know it's tough,
honestly.
it's all one great big scare
but that's life honey
i'm sorry.
But you'll conquer the world
it's at the tip of your hand
if you believe that you can
then i know that you will.
And i may not be here to see it
but i know you'll do me proud
So let me tell you something
okay listen closely now,
I know right now
you don't understand me
i'm not making any old sense at all
-quite frankly.
But one day
when you're all grown up
and forget me by my face
I hope you'll remember my voice
speaking these words
Honey, now listen deary,
the world is one big ride
terrifying and lonely at times
awfully tremendous too
it's a good ride though-
so make sure you hold on tight
you don't wanna go falling off now
No one will stay with you forever
that's for sure
and
not everyone is true
So
when you do
find the ones who are just right for you
promise me you'll keep them close?
Cause i could never stand
to see you alone.
I can see something in you
determination and potential
Honey it's practically
shining out of you!
You will go ahead
and you will achieve the incredible
You will.
Don't be fooled by your man
I may be old
and you think i'm a fool
but i swear to you
that's not me at all.
Your grandma
She was precious to me
precious beyond belief
Her face is slowly leaving me
i'm old
i'm forgetting
I'm sorry.
But honey
your grandma
she spoke to me
just like i speak to you
Back then i was only wee i must say,
yet the impact she had upon me
left me breathless
i could not lose her
i had to have her
keep her close
never lose her
never lose her
never
never
oh,
oh honey
honey she's gone
she's gone and i must see her
i need her
i need her so bad
I must go
So please
please find someone of your own
to replace where i once was
you'll forget my face
but i won't forget yours
i'll be waiting for you
don't you fret honey
i'll always be waiting for you
just waiting
that's all that life is
One big wait
