December 2017

I‎t was Lincoln logs and a hot wheels ford

Sittin cross legged on the hardwood floor

Stacked up high before I‎t all came down

I‎t was giant jenga

spilled my cup

She Put her hand on my shoulder

As my eyes welled up....

And she said

We’re still building

I’ll build you up

Brick by brick

Floor by floor

Bit by bit

Board by board

We’re still building

Building us

It was Sweet sixteen in my daddy’s Ford

I️ was so damn nervous outside your door

My knees were knockin’ as I️ shook your fathers hand

He looked me level, and said tell me son,

“What are your intentions, this daughter’s my only one”

And I said “hey, now...”

We’re still building

I’ll build you up

Brick by brick

Floor by floor

Bit by bit

Board by board

We’re still building

Building us

Well we made our bed and we still lie in it

Life flies by bout a mile a minute

We built this house & it’s become a home

Finger paintings up on the fridge

Pretty soon our kids will be havin kids, of their own

And now they’re they’re building

Now they’re building

I’ll build you up

Brick by brick

Floor by floor

Bit by bit

Board by board

We’re still building
