Lyrics
You taught me how to ride a bike You held the seat and ran beside Now the stairs are steep for you And I'm the one who walks beside Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad Take your time, there's no rush now Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad You carried me, I'll carry you somehow Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad Your hands are slower than they were But they're the same hands that I know You tell the same old story twice And I laugh like it's the first time, though Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad Take your time, there's no rush now Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad You carried me, I'll carry you somehow Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad One more step, one more step The porch light's waiting at the top One more step, one more step We'll sit and let the evening stop Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad Take your time, there's no rush now Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad You carried me, I'll carry you somehow Hold the rail, I've got you, Dad I've got you, Dad I've got you
