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

way back in the fall.
