Sunrise and a lifted my head

And I, can't wait till I see you again
A E A
And I, both say remember when, the band played on the 4th of July
B
And you held me on your shoulders way up high
Refrão:
E A
You're still there for me, wherever there might be

And if an ocean lies between us

I'll send a message across the sea

That you can sleep tonight

Knowing it is alright

Told me to be careful and to follow the rules

Fast forward and you taught me to drive

You gave me the keys and we went fot a ride
