Oh Child

Oh child, will you ever get by?

Will you listen to things I say?

We don't know the difference from your wrong or right

We'll learn it along the way

Oh child, will you drink in the night?

Will you make all the same mistakes?

Do you get around with chasing all the highs

Forget all on your lowest day

And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret

From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget

Oh, my father before he left

Oh, there's one thing I wish he said

"Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"

Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry

Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay

Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, will you travel the world?

And see all of the things I missed?

You can tell me all about it when you're back

Like I always did

Oh child, maybe you can fall in love with a husband, or a wife

If you're happy when the road is getting rough

I'll be right there by your side

And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret

From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget

Oh, my father before he left

Oh, there's one thing I wish he said

"Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"

No, you won't get this life again

No, you won't get this life again

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry

Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, will you know this song?

When I'm gonna fade away

Will you sing it back?

I know it word for word

Back to your child one day

No, no, don't you worry

Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry

Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay

Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again

Oh child, oh child

Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again
