| Heart fell outta my chest when I met you |
| Forty-eight hours mama worked to send you |
| Into this world, baby girl, how did get you? |
| And I can't believe my eyes, no, no |
| Couple years pass and I ain't been the same since |
| Mama pregnant again, but this time it's twins |
| When they came, boy, I was scared shitless |
| And I can't believe my eyes, no |
| Now my house a mess and my records knocked down |
| Buncha food on floor stuck to my socks now |
| And I got no time for these golf clubs now |
| But I'd have it no other way |
|
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You're what I hold steady for |
| Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah) |
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You'll be what I been waiting for |
| For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure) |
| And we gon' get older |
| And things gonna change |
| But you're still my flame |
|
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
|
| Fast forward fourteen years |
| Catch 'em skipping class, smoking weed in the basement |
| Doing things I did, I guess that I can't get too mad |
| Thinking 'bout the way I woulda acted as a new dad |
| Tying up your shoes, now I'm driving you to school grad |
| Couple years pass and Daddy give you first dance |
| Tears down my face, I don't ever wanna lose that |
| 'Cause you're the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm |
|
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You're what I hold steady for |
| Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah) |
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You'll be what I been waiting for |
| For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure) |
| And we gon' get older |
| And things gonna change |
| But you're still my flame |
|
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
|
| Now we getting to the last page |
| Story of my life, I wish we were only half way |
| Try to muster up the words, but all that I can say |
| Is you the greatest thing that I did in this world, mm |
| Surrounded by you and my grandkids |
| Me and Mama couldn't write it better if we planned it |
| Only thing I wonder is how did time vanish? Yeah |
| I don't wanna say goodbye, no |
|
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You're what I hold steady for |
| Till the day that I die (I don't know, yeah, yeah) |
| Some things you just can't be ready for |
| You'll be what I been waiting for |
| For the rest of my life (I know one thing's for sure) |
| And we gon' get older |
| And things gonna change |
| But you're still my flame |
|
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
| You're still my flame |
