I hope you spend your days
G#m
writing verses on your page.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
E
Taking showers in the cold
B
and your glasses filled to their brim.

And I hope you treat your heart
G#m
real nice and real smart.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
E
Can't be worthless seein' stars,
B
buying rocky-road for me and him.

Stay in that water and
keep where you're feeling fine but
E B
I'm just the daughter of a man who lives on oak and wine and I
F#
swim like my father
E B
and remember hard days drivin' miles across county lines.
B
I hope you realize
G#m
why the clouds are always crying.
May your life be a Walden Pond dive.
E
Shaking flowers at the ground
B
while you live the life you did at five.

And I hope it's testified
G#m
for you the best had been denied.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.

May you find your love tonight
B
and the times you have are never grim.
