   A song for

   Noah

   1. Seven years old and you still climb in my bed
   2. With your cold feet and a question in your head
   3. You ask me why the moon follows the car
   4. And I say honey, that's just who you are
   5. Noah, my Noah, you came in a hurry
   6. The whole house woke up and nobody worried
   7. Every morning since, you make the light
   8. Noah, my Noah, you got it right
   9. Cereal on the counter, cartoons too loud
   10. You tell me a joke and you laugh out loud
   11. Before you get to the end of the line
   12. And I laugh too, every single time
   13. One day the bed's gonna be too small
   14. And you won't need me to catch you when you fall
   15. But I'll still be here at the kitchen door
   16. Noah, my Noah, and I'll love you more

Seven years old and you still climb in my bed With your cold feet and a question in your head You ask me why the moon follows the car And I say honey, that's just who you are Noah, my Noah, you came in a hurry The whole house woke up and nobody worried Every morning since, you make the light Noah, my Noah, you got it right Cereal on the counter, cartoons too loud You tell me a joke and you laugh out loud Before you get to the end of the line And I laugh too, every single time One day the bed's gonna be too small And you won't need me to catch you when you fall But I'll still be here at the kitchen door Noah, my Noah, and I'll love you more

   A song for

   Emily

   1. I taught you to drive on the old county road
   2. Hands at ten and two, and you never once slowed
   3. You said dad I got it, I said Emily I know
   4. And that's the whole problem, you already know
   5. Emily, Emily, don't grow up so fast
   6. Every light I catch is another year passed
   7. I'm not asking you to stay, I'd never ask that
   8. Just turn around once, just look back
   9. You were four in the yard with a plastic guitar
   10. Singing into a hairbrush, telling me you'd go far
   11. Well you did and you are and I sit here proud
   12. And I say it too soft and I should say it out loud
   13. So here it is, honey, plain as the dawn
   14. I was somebody's daddy before I was gone
   15. And whatever road takes you, whatever you do
   16. Emily, Emily, I'm still ten and two

   2:23

   Emily. I taught you to drive on the old county road Hands at ten and two, and you never once slowed You said dad I got it, I said Emily I know And that's the whole problem, you already know Emily, Emily, don't grow up so fast Every light I catch is another year passed I'm not asking you to stay, I'd never ask that Just turn around once, just look back You were four in the yard with a plastic guitar Singing into a hairbrush, telling me you'd go far Well you did and you are and I sit here proud And I say it too soft and I should say it out loud So here it is, honey, plain as the dawn I was somebody's daddy before I was gone And whatever road takes you, whatever you do Emily, Emily, I'm still ten and two

   A song for

   Mom Ruth

   1. You worked the second shift for eighteen years
   2. Came home smelling like the diner, never said a word about it
   3. There was always dinner, I never asked how
   4. Mom, I'm asking now
   5. Ruth, sweet Ruth, you carried the whole house
   6. On a back that never once let it show
   7. And everything I've got, everything I am
   8. Came out of a woman I was too young to know
   9. You kept my report cards in the drawer by the phone
   10. Every one of them, thirty years on
   11. I found them last winter and I sat on the floor
   12. And I cried like the boy at the kitchen door
   13. So before the years take one more thing away
   14. I wrote you a song so I'd finally say
   15. Thank you ain't enough and it never was
   16. Mom, sweet mom, but here it is because
   17. I love you, I love you, I always have

   A song for

   Sarah

   1. Twenty five years and a mortgage and two kids gone
   2. Same side of the bed, same radio song
   3. You still steal the covers, I still let you
   4. Sarah, that's the whole review
   5. We fought about money in ninety nine
   6. We fought about my mother all the time
   7. And we stayed, we stayed, we stayed
   8. That's the only vow that ever got made
   9. You hum when you cook and you don't know you do it
   10. You put your cold hands on my back just to prove it
   11. Thirty years of a hundred small things
   12. That's the ring, Sarah, that's the ring
   13. So they can keep the champagne and the crowded room
   14. I'll take the porch and the June bugs and you
   15. Same side of the bed, same radio song
   16. Sarah, let's just keep going on

   A song for

   Jack

   1. Come here Jack, let me look at you good
   2. You got your mother's chin and your grandfather's mood
   3. Sit down here, we're snapping beans till noon
   4. And I'll tell you a thing you'll understand soon
   5. Oh Jack, oh Jack, the world is wide
   6. And the good Lord willing you'll see every side
   7. But wherever you go and whoever you become
   8. There's a porch in Georgia where you're always from
   9. I kept your first tooth in a jar on the shelf
   10. And a drawing of a house you drew yourself
   11. Fifty years of everybody's things in this room
   12. And now there's a song in here too
   13. So when I'm just a picture on somebody's wall
   14. And you're grown and you're tall and you've seen it all
   15. Put this on, let it play, let it fill up the room
   16. Oh Jack, oh Jack, I'm right here with you

   1:24

   Jack. Come here Jack, let me look at you good You got your mother's chin and your grandfather's mood Sit down here, we're snapping beans till noon And I'll tell you a thing you'll understand soon Oh Jack, oh Jack, the world is wide And the good Lord willing you'll see every side But wherever you go and whoever you become There's a porch in Georgia where you're always from I kept your first tooth in a jar on the shelf And a drawing of a house you drew yourself Fifty years of everybody's things in this room And now there's a song in here too So when I'm just a picture on somebody's wall And you're grown and you're tall and you've seen it all Put this on, let it play, let it fill up the room Oh Jack, oh Jack, I'm right here with you

   A song for

   Grace

   1. I had a whole speech and I lost it downstairs
   2. Somewhere between the elevator and the stairs
   3. So I'm standing here with nothing to say
   4. Grace, will you marry me anyway
   5. Grace, it starts today
   6. I could have written it down on a card
   7. But what I feel wouldn't fit on a card
   8. So it turned into a song, and it fit
   9. You laugh at the part of the movie nobody laughs at
   10. You put honey in everything, I still don't get that
   11. And I want thirty more years of not getting it
   12. Grace, that's the whole of it
   13. So the ring's in my pocket and my hands aren't still
   14. And the city's down there going on like it will
   15. And the only question I'll ever ask twice
   16. Grace, will you, Grace, will you, Grace

   1:53

   Grace. I had a whole speech and I lost it downstairs Somewhere between the elevator and the stairs So I'm standing here with nothing to say Grace, will you marry me anyway Grace, it starts today I could have written it down on a card But what I feel wouldn't fit on a card So it turned into a song, and it fit You laugh at the part of the movie nobody laughs at You put honey in everything, I still don't get that And I want thirty more years of not getting it Grace, that's the whole of it So the ring's in my pocket and my hands aren't still And the city's down there going on like it will And the only question I'll ever ask twice Grace, will you, Grace, will you, Grace

This is what lands on their phone.
