C
I hope you spend your days
                       Am
writing verses on your page.
 
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
       F
Taking showers in the cold
                                 C
and your glasses filled to their brim.
C
And I hope you treat your heart
                   Am
real nice and real smart.
 
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
         F
Can't be worthless seein' stars,
                             C
buying rocky-road for me and him.
C
Stay in that water and
 
keep where you're feeling fine but
F                          C
I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine and I
G
swim like my father
    F                                              C
and remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines.
C
I hope you realize
                          Am
why the clouds are always crying.
 
May your life be a Walden Pond dive.
        F
Shaking flowers at the ground
                                   C
while you live the life you did at five.
C
And I hope it's testified
                          Am
for you the best had been denied.
 
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
        F
May you find your love tonight
                                 C
and the times you have are never grim.

I've still got those pictures that I found in a bucket.
            Bb
They're all up on my wall.
F
And I've still got those paintings that you did for my birthday
    C
way back in the fall.
