Forever Everyday

I knew this kid, his name was Michael

He was only four years old

We sat on a rock and started talkin'

And he told me things I didn't know

He said yesterday he was an Indian

And how he played with buffalo

Well, I got a sense that he had been there

And he made me really wanna go

Remember waitin' all year for December

Thought God was cryin' when it rained

And that the stars were fireflies

Dreams were real and big as life

It was forever everyday

I was tuckin' in my little girl

She held my hand and we said a prayer

I prayed, "Bless Grandma with the angels."

And she said, "Hey Mom, she's standin' over there."

Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it

Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise

What if Heaven's all around us

But only seen through children's eyes

They say when you're old you're a child again

But do we have to wait 'till then

Forever
