Lyrics
I recall that first summertime
I kissed you under the Georgia pines
Knew just how I'd spend my life
When you smiled & you kissed me back
You & me that first Christmas Eve
Two stockings hung beside our tree
Excited knowin' next year there'd be three
I tell ya', I Live For That
BRIDGE:
Well some folks live for their job
And others to get on TV
I'm blessed with all I've got
So I'm livin' for these memories
Her first steps the going's rough
Falls down pick herself right up
Our baby girl's made of tougher stuff
Thanks to her mom and dad
I'm in the bleachers, she's on 3rd base
A ponytail and a freckled face
Slides for home and she gets in safe
I tell ya', I Live For That
REPEAT BRIDGE
All grown up she's dressed in white
Takes his hand and lets go of mine
I dry a tear as we watch them drive
Away in a Cadillac
Now you and me we're no longer young
A touch of gray but we're not nearly done
So many memories left to come
I tell ya', I Live For That
I tell ya', I Live For That
