Standard (EADGBE)

 It s not an easy thing to take on alone

 To watch them make their first steps

 And know that you re the one

 And sure there s always something though you want

 To be the best father you can

 And the best lover for me

 Just be patient, you ll see

 Nothing last forever

 You can only hope you ll find

 The wisdom to get through it all

Get mad , lose hope

 But that ain t gonna help at all

 Just be patient, patient you ll see

So It feels like

You left behind

 The freedom of behing a child yourself

But just for a while

Don t start counting sacrifices

And all those sleepless nights

There is no free time, for you yet

Start to introspect

 And be patient, you ll see

 Nothing last forever

 You can only hope you ll find

 The wisdom to get through it all

Get mad, lose hope

 But that ain t gonna help at all

 Just be patient, patient you ll see

 And before you know it

 You ll find them gone

 And have forgotten how hard it was

 Like all these other parents

 Find the courage to let go

 And wished you had more time

 Just be patient, you ll see

 Nothing last forever

 You can only hope you ll find

 The wisdom to get through it all

Get mad, loose hope

 But that ain t gonna help at all

 Just be patient, patient you ll see

 Don t hurry, you ll see

 Nothing last forever

 You can only hope you ll find

 Enough time to see it all

Be glad, enjoy anyways

 You have the strength to go for it all

 Be patient, patient you ll see
