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

way back in the fall.
