After Today

There's something different about today
It's all the same but something's changed
I can't explain, but all the same
There's something different about today
Planted olives by the wall
And though they start out very small
When you are older, when I fall
I'll have a branch to give you all
They say for better or for worse
Our lives will never be the same
I wouldn't have it another way
Everything changed after today
Don't think I'm ready for all this
I've been so angry that I've missed
So much of life that I don't know
If I'm the one to help you grow
I said I'll change all of my ways
That I could live for something more
But I have said all that before
And I know you deserve much more

They said that my fun was through
That it was cause of you
That you would end it all
I'd never get to stay out late
That I'd just have to wait
Be at your beck and call
But time spent with you is worth so much more
Please can I get my bill?
I can not wait until I walk through your door
Please can I get my bill?
April showers come too soon
And once May flowers bloom
They'll never see my face
They say that in the blink of an eye
That the time will just fly
And I'll be back in place
It's not that I don't miss you or the times that we've had
What's coming makes me nervous but it also makes me glad

Love is all you need
Is what I've heard them say
Now I see it all so clear
Couldn't have it another way
On top of what I've seen
Life is what you've made
Never slowing, always growing
Another bright new day

Waiting, I'm waiting
I guess I need some time
To wrap my head around
All that we decide
Nine months
Is much too short a time
To separate
The truth from all the lies
You're told
To push and pull and strive
In the end
I think that we'll survive
We don't see eye to eye on everything
We're not the same person you see
Some like the night some like the day
But we both love you just the same
It's hard to explain, some day you'll see
Your momma hopes you like country
And I just hope you like me
It's over, it's done
I guess when you have fun
The time flies
Much quicker then
It's now, it's here
There's no time left to fear
What lies ahead
We better brace ourselves right here
Your momma hopes you like country
I just hope you like me

I Hope You Play Banjo

We'll give you a name
And hope that you like it
And hope that it stays
And we'll guard you and guide you
Through all of our days
Even when you'll want us
To just go away
I hope that the world will be so good to you
But I hope that you're better for it
I hope that you're honest and I hope that you're true
I hope you can stand up for those around you
I hope you can love in the darkest of days
Because to love in the light is a breeze
I hope that you know we love you more than you know
And I hope that some day you'll play banjo
If you're like me I know
That times will be lonely, bitter, and cold
But I want more for you
Than I had for myself
A life lived in sunlight
Is better than the shelf
I hope that the world will be so good to you
But I know that it probably won't
It's how you handle yourself when you can't see your home
So I'll teach you to stand on your own
I hope you can love in the darkest of days
Because to love in the light is a breeze
I hope that you know we love you more than you know
And I hope that some day you'll play banjo

Lullabye

Good night, rest your head and close your eyes
And I'll sing you a lullaby
I wrote down here just for you
When I found out you were true
As you sail off through the night
I'll be right there by your side
If the wind howls and bough breaks
You don't have to be afraid
I'll be here when you awake
It was brave of you to try
Just listen to your lullaby
So go on, slay your dragons, swim the sea
Be whatever you want to be
You'll be back here in a while
Greet the new day with a smile
