Shoes scattered across the front yard
The summer solstice was almost your bodyguard
Many evenings would probably have us flee
Dawn would come and make you the honoree
'Cause May 13th, you made smiles anew
May 13th, us two kids in your bedroom
Woke you up but you already knew
'Cause May 13th was the day that the world met you
Siblings sprinting to accumulate shares
The vulnerable leathers hanging from the Bradford pears
Many evenings would probably have us protect
Dawn would come and make you the architect
'Cause May 13th, you made smiles anew
May 13th, us two kids in your bedroom
Woke you up but you already knew
'Cause May 13th was the day...
As a little boy in your eyes always
I remember those soles and running down the upstairs hallway
'Cause May 13th, you made smiles anew
May 13th, us two kids in your bedroom
Woke you up but you already knew
'Cause May 13th was the day...
May 13th, you made smiles anew
May 13th, us two kids in your bedroom
Woke you up but you already knew
'Cause May 13th was the day that the world met you
That the world met you
The day that the world met you
