Song For Eva Mae

Song For Eva Mae - Frank Turner

Eva Mae

I remember the day that you were born

It was the summer

Your mum and dad called me

Up to say how proud

They were

Voices ringing with

The love of a new born child

Light shining in

Their eyes expectant smiles

Eva Mae

Well your father and I have been friends

Many years

Watched the world around us change

Hoped our hopes feared our fears

He asked me to watch you as you grow

To hold your hand through

The highs and lift you up through the lows

Now Eva Mae

Don't you judge me too hard

I've tried to be a good man

To make the best with what I've got

And Eva Mae

I will teach you what I know

And watch over you everywhere that you go

Eva Mae

I have made many mistakes

In my time

Burned my share of bridges and broken hearts

I've told lies

I have not always followed my own advice

I've fallen flat

But Eva darling

Sometimes that's just life

Eva Mae

With the way that I am I might not

Much be around

But I'll stop in from time to time to share

The things I've learnt

You should keep your friends and family close

And always always always always try to say yes

And we can none of us ever be perfect

But darling we can try our best

Now Eva Mae

I won't ever judge you hard

Just try to be a good girl

And make the best with what you got

And Eva Mae

I will teach you what I know

And watch over you everywhere that you go

Everywhere you go
