Frank Turner - Eva Mae Lyrics
Eva Mae, I remember the date you were bornIt was the summerYour mum and dad called me up to say how proudThey wereVoices wringing with the love of a new born childLight shining in their eyes, expectant smilesEva Mae, Well your father and I have been friendsMany yearsWatch the world around us change, Hoped our hopes, feared our fearsHe asked me to watch you, as you growHold your hand through the highs and lift you up through the lowsNow Eva Mae, Don't you judge me too hardI try to be a good man to be the best with what I gotEva Mae, I will teach you what I knowAnd watch over you everywhere that you goEva Mae, I have made many mistakesIn my timeBuilt my share of bridges and broken heartsI've told liesI have not always followed my own adviceI've fallen flatBut Eva darling sometimes that's just lifeEva Mae, With the way that I am I might notMuch be aroundBut I'll stop in from time to time to shareThe things I've learntYou should keep your friends and family closeAnd always always always try to say yesAnd we can not ever one of us be perfectBut darling we can try our bestNow Eva Mae, I won't ever judge your heart, Just try to be a good girl and do the best with what you gotNow Eva Mae, I will teach you what I know, And watch over you everywhere you will goEverywhere you will go
