I hope you spend your days

writing verses on your page.
May your life be a Walden Pond swim.
C#
Taking showers in the cold
G#
and your glasses filled to their brim.

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