Until You’re Ready to Fly

As I stood by the door
And looked at you baby
Asleep in your mother’s arms
Oh she held you so closely

Oh I remember, I remember

I felt so ashamed I cried
while the tears drops fell
Like ice hitting the floor
I should’ve known before

You were really my flesh
Of my flesh and bones
Of my bones and with
Blood so thinker than water

Oh I remember, I remember

Chorus
I promised myself that
I’ll stand by your side
Until you’re ready to fly
Until you’re ready to fly



Now you’re so grown
You look so much like
Your beautiful mother (and)
With a smile like my brother

I must admit that sometimes
I can’t help but wonder
If your mother had a lover (coz)
I thought she was a cheater

Oh I remember, I remember

Chorus
I promised myself that
I’ll stand by your side
Until you’re ready to fly
Until you’re ready to fly

Oh I remember, I remember


Each time you called me dad
I felt so ashamed inside
With these thoughts I had

Oh I remember, I remember

Thinking you were my brother’s child

Chorus
I promised myself that
I’ll stand by your side
Until you’re ready to fly
Until you’re ready to fly
