LYRIC FOR SALE

By Millie French

Verse 1
I raised you girls on the country music I still love
It’s the soundtrack of motherhood and watching you grow up
It’s the tunes that we danced to after dinner every night
The songs I sang to you before turning down the lights

Chorus
Time flies by, the music stays
Takes me right back to those days
In my mind the past lives on
I still hear you in every song

Post-Chorus
I look back on your childhood with a smile
Every time I hear “More Than Miles”
How the radio played “Die a Happy Man”
When your French toast was in the pan
How “Crash My Party” was blasting loud
When I brushed all your tangles out
How we sang all the words to “Peter Pan”
Driving to school in that beat-up van
How “Cop Car” was what we used to sing
When we chilled on the front porch swing
How I hummed “Cruise” when you crawled in my bed
‘Cause heavy thunder rumbled overhead

Verse 2
Now you’re all grown and don’t like country music anymore
You say those lame old songs are such a bore
Yeah, you roll your eyes and turn the radio down
But in my mind, the three of us are still dancing around

Chorus repeat
Time flies by, the music stays
Takes me right back to those days
In my mind the past lives on
I still hear you in every song

Post-Chorus repeat
I look back on your childhood with a smile
Every time I hear “More Than Miles”
How the radio played “Die a Happy Man”
When your French toast was in the pan
How “Crash My Party” was blasting loud
When I brushed all your tangles out
How we sang all the words to “Peter Pan”
Driving to school in that beat-up van
How “Cop Car” was what we used to sing
When we chilled on the front porch swing
How I hummed “Cruise” when you crawled in my bed
‘Cause heavy thunder rumbled overhead

Outro
It’s the soundtrack of motherhood and watching you grow up
It’s the tunes that we danced to after dinner every night
The songs I sang to you before turning down the lights
