Do you remember, we were sittin’ there, by the water you put your arm around me for the first time, you made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter you are the best thing that’s ever been mine. But we got bills to pay we got nothin’ figured out when it was hard to take, yes, this is what I thought about. Braced myself for the goodbye 'cause that’s all I’ve ever known then you took me by surprise and you said, “I’ll never leave you alone, I remember how we felt sittin’ by the water and every time I look at you, it’s like the first time i fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter she is the best thing that’s ever been mine”
