Something Right

Verse 1 Feels like yesterday I taught her how to ride a bike Running down the driveway holding the back of her seat tight Now she's in that cap and gown, tassel hanging low I can’t help but wonder where did all those little girl years go Verse 2 I remember late night homework spread across the kitchen table Folders for every subject, each one a different colored label Wasn’t easy, we struggled, some years harder than others Look at her tonight, couldn’t be a prouder mother Pre Chorus We don't sit together anymore Haven't for a long, long time But tonight we're standing side by side Chorus Couldn't make forever work Couldn't keep our dreams alive But in between hurting and healing We learned compromise Too many things we did wrong And we paid the price But seeing her up on that stage We sure did something right Verse 3 Some nights I cried myself to sleep wondering when she’d figure out Mommy and Daddy just can’t live in the same house Tried to hide the tension but deep down I knew she could see Cracks in the foundation between her father and me Verse 4 I missed some birthdays and summer softball games So tough in the beginning learning how to navigate Spent years wishing I could go back, change some things I did Like putting my pride before a heartbroken little kid Pre Chorus Now, it’s, “baby smile for the camera” Diploma held high Her mama and daddy tryin’ not to cry Chorus Couldn't make forever work Couldn't keep our dreams alive But in between hurting and healing We learned compromise Too many things we did wrong And we paid the price But seeing her up on that stage We sure did something right Bridge Wrestled with anger Battled through pain (battled through pain) But the love for our baby girl never changed ½ Chorus Too many things we did wrong And we paid the price But seeing her up on that stage We sure did something right Outro Yeah…seeing her upon that stage We sure did something right Hmmmm…
