India Arie - Good Man Lyrics

La, la, la.
La, la, la, la.
La, la, la.
La, la, la, ooh.

I remember the first day I met you we were so young.
You were a blessing and there was no guessing you were the one.
Love is so crazy.
We had a baby and said our vows.
That's when you told me should anything happen.
I can hear you now.
You told me.

[Chorus:]
If the sun comes up and I'm not home be strong.
If I'm not beside you do your best to carry on.
Tell the kids about me when they're old enough to understand.
Tell them that their daddy was a good man.

Yeah, yeah.
La, da, da.
La, da, da, da, da.

First anniversary remember we chose a star.
And as I stand under it I can't help but wonder if you see it where you are.
For whatever reason we don't see the seasons change again.
Go there with peace of mind.
We'll meet on the otherside cause true love don't end.
Oh baby.

[Chorus:]
If the sun comes up and you're not home I'll be strong.
If you're not beside me I'll do my best to carry on.
I'll tell the kids about you when they're old enough to understand.
I'll tell them that their daddy was a good man.

La, da, da.
La, da, da, ooh.
La, da, da.
La, da, da, ooh.

Two eyes looking up at me.
Pointing to the picture like, "Where is he? "
"Mamma are you OK? What did the paper say to make you cry that way? "
"It said, 'Your Daddy lived for you and your daddy died for you. And I'll do the same! "
Now, baby.

[Chorus:]
If the sun comes up and I'm not home be strong.
If I'm not beside you do your best to carry on.
Tell your kids about me when they're old enough to understand.
Tell them that your daddy was a good man.

La, da, da.
La, da, da, da, da.
