"The Love Of My Life" lyrics

Do you remember we were younger
Headed southbound in the summer
I lost my teeth in Little League
It made it seem like I was tougher

Michigan left, roadtrip, Florida coast
These are the things that you miss the most
Man how I wish someone would've told me then

I wanna be like you when I'm older
I wanna give them a view from my shoulders
I wanna meet a girl, wanna hold her tight
Call her the love of my life

We got older, we got taller
We were sons and now we're fathers
Memories and gasoline
You're teaching me to use the mower

But you don't realize time flies like the wind
Tally the countries you have been
Don't mean a damn 'less there's someone to share them with

I wanna be like you when I'm older
I wanna give them a view from my shoulders
I wanna meet a girl, wanna hold her tight
Call her the love of my life
Call her the love of my life

Some things are inevitable
Like funeral clothes, like innocence lost
But I'll do what I can to hold
On to what you told and never let go

I look a lot like you now I'm older
I get to give them a view from my shoulders
I got to meet a girl and I hold her tight
Call her the love of my life
