               G#
Let's start it here
Back in nineteen
 D#     G#
seventy something
            A#m
I can't pin down
    Fm
the year When the
        Cm     C#
romance wasn't dead
                D#
And love still stood
    G#
for something There
was a girl who had
 D#      G#
lost her way She
                 A#m
blushed red when he
     Fm
came over And they
           Cm
danced the night
 C#
away And he sung as
    D#        G#
he drove her home and
                   D# 
It was there that she
      G#
would say If I could
     A#m     Fm
than I would save you
And he smiled and
Cm      C#
turned away In six
              D#
weeks they're saying
A#   C#
I do Oh love just
don't go that
way no more

Chorus:
G#            Fm
And like the seed
             Cm
becomes the tree
         D#
We take shape of
      G#     Fm
a family We grow
        Cm
and we change
             D#
And face the rain
like you wouldn't
   G#
believe And through
   Fm
it all We're standing
Cm           D#
tall And we just don't
        G#       Fm
say it enough If not
    Cm         D#
for you no we wouldn't
               G#  D# 
be standing at all

And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin'
How the hell did we end up here?
Four kids and a few jobs later
And the pictures fill the pages
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
But you'd be a fool to give it up
'Cause you know that what
we've got is bigger than the two of us
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
But it's bigger than the two of us
And I will hold you in my arms
When you feel like giving up
Love just don't go that way no more

Chorus

And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin'
We made it here my dear
Grandkids and the mortgage paid off
Is this what dreams are made of?
'Cause baby we made it
Yeah baby, you saved me
But nothing could save him
From the ambulance

      C#          D#
that day When he went
 Fm      G#      D#
away The heart attack
     C#
was sharp He didn't
D#      Fm
feel no pain If you
G#      D#       C#
saw him now then what
     D#        Fm
What would you say?
               D# C#
I love you and I  miss
      D#           Fm
you I owe you everything
      G#        D# 
And I hope you know
     A#               C#
you saved me saved me

Oh mother
Mother please don't cry
'Cause you know I miss him too
I didn't even say goodbye
And though he's gone, I know he's gone
He lives on in all of us
And I will hold you when you cry
'Cause that's what he would've done (Oh mother!)
Yeah, that's what he would've done (Oh mother!)
Yeah, that's what he would've done
It's been hard, oh it's been hard
But he's a part of all of us
And we will hold you when you cry
'Cause that's what family does
