Forever Everyday

I knew this kid, his name was Michael He was only four years old We sat on a rock and started talkin' And he told me things I didn't know He said yesterday he was an Indian And how he played with buffalo Well, I got a sense that he had been there And he made me really wanna go [Chorus:] Remember waitin' all year for December Thought God was cryin' when it rained And that the stars were fireflies Dreams were real and big as life It was forever everyday I was tuckin' in my little girl She held my hand and we said a prayer I prayed, "Bless Grandma with the angels." And she said, "Hey Mom, she's standin' over there." Well, I couldn't see her but I don't doubt it Maybe 'cause I'm older and less wise What if Heaven's all around us But only seen through children's eyes [Repeat Chorus] They say when you're old you're a child again But do we have to wait 'till then [Repeat Chorus] Forever I knew this kid his name was Michael --- Forever Everyday - Lee Ann Womack
