Don't Ever Change

I took a walk in a small town Sunday morning Just to see what was going on Sat watching two guys fishing in the river running through Like there was nothing wrong, nothing wrong They had their lines in the water ten feet apart Beer guts, t-shirts, me with my heavy heart I don't have religion but I'm trying to pray And I never liked fishing but I wanted to stand up and say Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change Don't ever change Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change I picked my daughter up at school last week She had her headphones on, she barely said hello And all I wanted was to hug her, smother her with kisses But I was cool, like hi there, how did it go? She had chipped nail polish, writing on her hand She was nodding her head to her favorite band Staring into space like she was all alone But I didn't take it personal It meant that I was home and I said Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change Don't ever change Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change Don't ever change I'm holding on to everything that's good in this world There's a lot that's good in this world I saw my baby sitting there at the breakfast table His hair a mess and he forgot to shave And I wished that he would get up, make it all better Stop drinking so much, learn how to behave Then the radio was playing a Chuck Berry song And he was looking at me asking what was wrong I made a list of the things I could say But he gave me a wink and it all went away, I told him Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change Don't ever change Hey I love you, you're perfect, don't ever change Don't ever change --- Don't Ever Change - Amy Rigby
