INTRO: C  G  F  Am  G

                         C
I wish you could live forever
         G
And that I could be there too
         F
And that there'd be generations
   Am                G
To look after me and you

            
                      C
But I know that isn't likely
      G
So, I guess I'll say it now
          F
That I'll love you past the boundaries
     Am                G
That time and breath allow


                  C
You were my first memory
       G
We were playing in the grass
         F
Like the colours of your apron
         Am             G
Love was coloured in to last


CHORUS:
        C        F                     G     
And I'm glad the light still hits your face
        Am                  G          F
And I'm glad every time you answer the phone
    C            F                                   Am
For you life and home have never been an easy place
                G               C     G    F    Am  G
And I'm glad to be part of your own 


                 C
You were the foundation
        G
That we built my life upon
           F
First with Dad and Cass and Mary
             Am               G
Then one was sick and one was gone 


                    C
People only get one family
      G
And a lot of them are rough
    F
I'm glad the one I got was one
     Am             G
That wasn't hard to love 


                       C
Oh, I hope I have your toughness
           G
Along with your will to be kind
    F
And know as I am one of yours
     Am             G
That you are one of mine


CHORUS:
        C        F                     G     
And I'm glad the light still hits your face
        Am                  G          F
And I'm glad every time you answer the phone
    C            F                                   Am
For you life and home have never been an easy place
                G               C     G    F    Am  G
And I'm glad to be part of your own
