A friendship has begun
father and a son
wisdom and the ways
hands to keep you safe
push the pieces back in line

A new day has begun
the rising of the sun
the sound of laughter plays
symphonies of grace
and it echo's in my mind

Why can't it be like this forever?
Moments that we share now together
why can't it be like this for life?
For life

Look how far that we have come
but the journey's just begun
the fragments rearranged
the chemistry has changed
a young heart is beating strong
now all the pieces still belong

Why can't it be like this forever?
Moments that we share now together
why can't it be like this for life?
For life

If ever things seem too high remember
the rivers seem far too wide remember this
I'll be right here
If ever you feel there's no escape
you take a wrong turn and lose your way
I'll be right here
Remember that when you go away
into the big wide open space
experience the fruit in gives
learn to love
and learn to live

Why can't it be like this forever?
Moments that we share now together
why can't it be like this for life?
For life
Why can't it be like this forever?
Moments that we share now together
why can't it be like this for life?
For life

I remember the walks in the park in the springtime
snow angels lying on our backs the good times
the years will come and go
and I'll miss this
I'll miss this
