Lyrics

I remember my little boy
Smiling back, face full of joy
I remember the games we did
And the joy that we?d share
I?d toss him up and catch him then
I?d watch his face light up again
I?d watch his laughing eyes and
Then I would hear him say

?Please toss me higher
Daddy can you please?
Higher, never high enough for me
Higher, Daddy please.
When I?m higher
I feel the love you have for me.?

I remember as he grew
Into a man whose heart was true
We?d sit upon my front porch swing and talk over things
He?s tell me ?bout his hopes and dreams
And how he wouldn?t change a thing
He knew I pushed him hard
But now he could do anything

?Push me higher
Daddy won?t you please?
Higher, never high enough for me.
Higher, Daddy please.
When I?m higher
I feel the love you have for me.?

Those times I feel again
In this bed where I will end
I see his face in light and joy comes back to me
He?s here with me in the end
My grown up boy, my greatest friend
I hear his words as
I take my final breath today

?I?ll meet you higher
Daddy, wait for me
Higher,Our souls will be free
Higher, then you will see
When we?re higher our love will always be?
