Verse:

Just when I thought my biological clock was running down…

I went to Key West, Tiki Bars all day long

My clock was wound.

What a surprise…with salt in my eyes…And water still in my ears

To find I’d have a baby boy, my Key West souvenir.

 

Chorus:

Yeah I’m older now and I think I’ve learned a few things along the way

With help from three teenagers carefully cataloguing my mistakes

And though I know more than anyone that I’ve got a ways to go

There’s still some things I’ve figured out that I want Samm to know

 

Verse:

You gotta treat other people with the very best part of you

Especially the people you’ve grown accustomed to

Try not to lie, don’t be too shy but tell less than you show

That’s what I want Samm to know

 

Verse:

You can always do a little more than you think you can do

Try to love your neighbor as yourself and to yourself be true

Don’t be too smart to risk your heart and let your spirit grow

That’s what I want Samm to know

 

Bridge:

And though it breaks my heart to think that you will have some rocky times

Know you were a child of God’s before you were a child of mine

So when dark skies come remember always look for that rainbow….

That’s what I want Samm to know

 

Chorus:

Yeah I’m older now and I think I’ve learned a few things along the way

With help from three teenagers carefully cataloguing my mistakes

And though I know more than anyone that I’ve got a ways to go….

There’s still some things I’ve figured out that I want Samm to know.

Yeah there’s still some things I’ve figured out that I want Samm to know
