Steve Smith songs
This is the lead off song on the CD and the 1st single I am trying to release in the South Bend area.
When he was 8 my middle son Zach (who has co-written a couple of songs on the album) got into trouble at school. He also go into trouble with me at home. I sent him to bed for his punishment and as he walked up the stairs he stopped, turned around and told me "You hate me".
It broke my heart that he didn't understand and later that night I couldn't sleep as I kept thinking about his comment. I got up and wrote this in about 20 minutes in an effort to tell him how I felt. He has munchkins of his own now and he understands:-) I hope you enjoy..........
When You Grow Some of Your Own
Words and Music Sarge c Jan 94
verse
You?re my child and you?ll always be, no matter, how much you grow
There?s no book that tells me, what I?m supposed to do, does it show?
Sometimes I don?t know all the right words to say to you, but I try.
For all you think I know, there?s so much that you will show me, are you surprised?
chorus
You will know how I feel about you, it?s not always like it seems.
And you will know how I feel about you,
when you grow some of your own.
verse
You wonder if all, the small, things matter, well they do.
Lessons we both will learn along the way, will someday, be you.
chorus
You will know how I feel about you, it?s not always like it seems.
I promise to do my best for you, help with all your hopes and dreams
And you will know how I feel
coda
When you grow some of your own
You Will Know
When you grow some of your own
What I did not know
When you grow some of your own
When you grow
When you grow some of your own
You Will Know
When you grow some of your own
