around

-
we gathered round your crib
knew then that in your smile
was grace to be shared
and compassion in your eyes

we would sit around the table
eating cookies we had made
learning state capitals
and what King David said

we hung around together
in our pj's on the couch
watching all those movies
everything to talk about

now you're going 'round the world
to live and work and love
my heart is churning here inside
and there are tears yet to come

just hang around his love
stay safe in his care
live this holy dream of yours
and feel my love from here

Wanna know what I can do for you, Not what you're -- What you're gonna do for me" God-like Yeah, that's right I saw love that's just lik...

I've gathered lots of stuff Piled it high in my garage Way more than enough And yet I am piling it high I can give you lots of things Try to keep you satisfied With bangles and rings It's not like I haven't tried But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me I've been around the globe places everybody wants to see I'm either platinum or gold On every single airline We could go there once again take you for the very first time But the times worth remembering are when your hand was in mine But I'll give it all away Give it all away for you It's not too high a price to pay Just to stay with you Nothing's too hard Too tough to try out and see If I can capture your heart And keep it with me Let me tell you on the phone Let me say it to your face Tell you what I hope you know and remember for a ...
