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
