If my memory serves me right

I would tuck you in almost every night

Saying, "sweet dreams" and "good night"

Right before I turned off all the lights.

But sweet dreams can turn into nightmares

When our heroes are no longer out there.

I'm sorry to say that the smiles that I give you

One day will be tears in your eyes

I'm sorry to give you these memories

'cause memories like this will one day make you cry

But I'ma stick around

I promise you that I will stick around for now.

Let these memories serve you right

When I'm no longer right by your side

Hope you, by then learned to fly

And take with you the good things in life.

Don't let your big dreams turn into nightmares

When our heroes are no longer out there.

I'm sorry to say that the smiles that I give you

One day will be tears in your eyes

I'm sorry to give you these memories

'cause memories like this will one day make you cry

But I'ma stick around

I promise you that I will stick around for now.

And right now, my light is shining

Though one day that too will go out

But for now

I'm gonna stick around.

I'm sorry to say that the smiles that I give you

One day will be tears in your eyes

I'm sorry to give you these memories

'cause memories like this will one day make you cry

But I'ma stick around

I promise you that I will stick around for now.
