Lyrics Mama told me when I was young “Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say And if you do this it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah” “Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast Troubles will come and they will pass You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above” “And be a simple kind of man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can” “Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold All that you need is in your soul And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied” “And be a simple kind of man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can” Oh yes, I will “Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself Follow your heart and nothing else And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied” “And be a simple kind of man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can” Baby, be a simple, be a simple man Oh, be something you love and understand Baby, be a simple kind of man
25. Brad Paisley – Anything Like Me
Lyrics I remember sayin’ I don’t care either way Just as long as he or she is healthy I’m okay Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen And said “Ya see that thing right there, well you know what that means” And I started wondering who he was going to be And I thought heaven help us if he’s anything like me He’ll probably climb a tree to tall and ride his bike too fast End up every summer wearin’ something in a cast He’s gonna throw a ball and break some glass, in a window down the street He’s gonna get in trouble, he’s gonna get in fights I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my payback, if he’s anything like me I can see him right now, knees all skinned up With a magnifying glass tryin’ to melt a Tonka truck Won’t he be a sight with his football helmet on That’ll be his first love til his first love comes along He’ll get his heart broke by the time he’s in his teens And heaven help him if he’s anything like me He’ll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast Get a speeding ticket he’ll pay for mowing grass He’s gonna get caught skippin’ class and be grounded for a week He’s gonna get in trouble, we’re gonna get in fights I’m gonna lose my temper and some sleep It’s safe to say that I’m gonna get my payback, if he’s anything like me He’s gonna love me and hate me along the way Years are gonna fly by, I already dread the day He’s gonna hug his momma, he’s gonna shake my hand He’s gonna act like he can’t wait to leave But as he drives out, he’ll cry his eyes out If he’s anything like me There’s worse folks to be like Aw he’ll be alright, if he’s anything like me
26. Stone Temple Pilots – A Song for Sleeping
Lyrics Finally I’ve met you The day has come You’re more than beautiful And you’re my son I don’t deserve this I never thought it could be Quite like the moment When you first smiled at me A toothless, wonderful feeling Like I’d never seen It’s you, Noah, it’s you And when you lie down to sleep I’ll protect you From the demons of the night While I’m watching you grow I’ll pray There’s so much I could teach you If you only have the time Pray There’s so much God can teach you If you only have the time So will you tell me the little things? What does God look like? And angels’ wings? I don’t remember these things So would you teach them to me? So for the moment I’ll watch you breathe And when you wake up in the morning And I pour the coffee You’re always smiling, sweetly
27. Celine Dion – A New Day Has Come
Lyrics I was waiting for so long For a miracle to come Everyone told me to be strong Hold on and don’t shed a tear Through darkness and good times I knew I’d make it through And the world thought I had it all But I was waiting for you Hush now I see a light in the sky Oh it’s almost blinding me I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel With love Let the rain come down And wash away my tears Let it fill my soul And drown my fears Let it shatter the walls For a new sun A new day has come Where it was dark now there’s is light Where there was pain, now there’s joy Where there was weakness, I found my strength All in the eyes of a boy Hush now I see a light in the sky Oh it’s almost blinding me I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel With love Let the rain come down And wash away my tears Let it fill my soul And drown my fears Let it shatter the walls For a new sun A new day has Let the rain come down And wash away my tears Let it fill my soul And drown my fears Let it shatter the walls For a new sun A new day has Come Oh oh oh Hush, now I see a light in your eyes All in the eyes of a boy (A new day) I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel, with love (A new day) I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel with love (A new day) Oh oh Hush, now A new day Hush, now A new day
28. John Legend – Right By You
Lyrics Will you live like me, in a world run by desire? Will you wake from worldly dream and not be tired? Will you work like me to lift the conversation higher? Will you be cool like water putting out the fire? How can you be free from all this sorrow? Will the ones you love today be gone tomorrow? And if angels don’t have answers to your prayers Oh, I will be there Oh I will be there And if who you love don’t want your love, well then Do you cut a deal with love and run again? You see, love contains the meaning of despair Will you think like me? Will you have your mother’s fire? Maybe the way we are will not be how you’re wired Will we do right by you? Will we you have what you require To make your days on this Earth not so dire? Can you choose to lead if no one follows? And if we fell today, must you tomorrow? Sanctify your answer not your prayer Oh, I will be there Yeah, I will be there Yeah, I will be there And even when it all becomes too much When you’re growing old and feeling out of touch Ooh, listen to this song and just take care And know that I will be there Yeah, I will be there No, I swear that I will Yeah, I promise I will Little girl, I’m cryin’
29. Martina McBride – In My Daugher’s Eyes
Lyrics In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise And I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I want to be In my daughter’s eyes In my daughter’s eyes Everyone is equal Darkness turns to light And the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me Gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter’s eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger How it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It’s hanging on when your heart is had enough It’s giving more when you feel like giving up I’ve seen the light It’s in my daughter’s eyes In my daughter’s eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be And though she’ll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I’m gone I hope you’ll see How happy she made me For I’ll be there In my daughter’s eyes
30. Tim McGraw – My Little Girl
Lyrics Gotta hold on easy as I let you go Going to tell you how much I love you Though you think you already know I remember I thought you looked like an angel Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm You’ve had me wrapped around your finger Since the day you were born You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old world but to me You know you’ll always be my little girl When you were in trouble that crooked little smile Could melt my heart of stone Now look at you I turned around and you’ve almost grown Sometimes when you’re asleep I whisper I love you in the moonlight at your door As I walk away, I hear you say Daddy love you more You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old world but to me You know you’ll always be my little girl Someday some boy will come and ask me for your hand But I won’t say yes to him Unless I know he’s the half that makes you whole He has a poet’s soul and the heart of a man’s man I know he’ll say that he’s in love But between you and me, he won’t be good enough You’re beautiful baby, from the outside in Chase your dreams but always know The road that will lead you home again Go on, take on this old world but to me You know you’ll always be my little girl
