When today has come and gone

I might be singin' my new song
D7
Might be short and it might be long
G
But I'll be singin' my new song Might be one I wrote for Ben Who always smiles when I sing to him Might be one I wrote for my grandchildren Who I can't see
C
But I'll sing it from the heart
G
And that'll be the easy part
D7
Singin' for Ronan and Aliyah
G
So they know just how I feel Might be one for my man, Zeke Who's growin' tall and strong and free Buildin' dreams with his new girl Livin' life that's meant to be And I'll call it family life When I sing it for my wife Who I love and I adore And she'll smile for me once more |
