as long as i can make you crispy cream pies
as long as i can read you stories to make you smile
as long as i can take you places in longer miles
as long as i can see the lining between the sea and the sky
i'll remind you over and over how important to live this life

as long as i am living

you will know comfort
in times of grief
you will know joy
in every growing leaf
you will know friendship
when it's time for you to see
you will know life
as you will know me
