THE APPLES OF MY EYES


LUCAS AND STEVEN JR.

1999

I wrote this for my sons a few years ago so that
they will always know just how much I love them.


AS EVERYDAY GOES BY
I THINK OF YOU MORE AND MORE
AS I SIT AND WONDER
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS IN STORE

I WANT TO HOLD YOU AND HUG YOU
I WANT TO WATCH YOU PLAY
BECAUSE ONE THINGS FOR CERTAIN
LITTLE BOYS YOU'LL NEVER STAY

AS I WATCH YOU GROW
AS I WATCH YOU CHANGE
I SIT HERE AND SMILE
AND SOMETIMES THINK IT'S STRANGE

IN LITTLE THINGS YOU DO
IN LITTLE THINGS YOU SAY
I SEE LITTLE PARTS OF ME IN YOU
COMING OUT DAY BY DAY

IN YOU I SEE MY HOPES AND DREAMS
AND A FUTURE BRIGHT
AND I PRAY TO GOD EACH DAY
THAT EVERYTHING GOES RIGHT

AS YOU GO DOWN THE ROAD OF LIFE
THERE WILL BE THE GOOD TIMES AND THE BAD
BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME
BECAUSE I'M YOU LOVING DAD

AS THE YEARS GO BY
AND I TURN OLD AND GRAY
I WILL GET TO SIT AND WATCH
ALL MY GRANDKIDS PLAY

AND IN YOUR EYES I WILL SEE
THAT OLD FAMILIAR TWINKLE
I WILL KNOW YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
AND SMILE THROUGH MY WRINKLES

BUT FOR NOW YOUR MY LITTLE BOYS
AND I LOVE YOU SO
AND YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME PROUD
AS YOU GROW AND GROW
