Sumthin' Sumthin' (Remastered 2021) - Maxwell

Let's start it here Back in nineteen-seventy-sumthin' I can't pin down the year When the romance wasn't dead And love still stood for something There was a girl who had lost her way She blushed red when he came over And they danced the night away And he sung as he drove her home and It was there that she would say If I could than I would save you And he smiled and turned away In six weeks they're saying "I do" Oh, love just don't go that way no more In life the seed becomes the tree Would take shape of a family We grow and we change And face the rain like you wouldn't believe And through it all We're standing tall And we just don't say it enough If not for you, no we wouldn't be standing at all And now it's nineteen-ninety-sumthin' How the hell did we end up here? Four kids and a few jobs later And the pictures fill the pages It's been hard, oh it's been hard But you'd be a fool to give it up Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us It's been hard, oh it's been hard But it's bigger than the two of us And I will hold you in my arms When you feel like giving up Love just don't go that way no more In life the seed becomes the tree Would take shape of a family We grow and we change And face the rain like you wouldn't believe And through it all We're standing tall And we just don't say it enough If not for you, then we wouldn't be standing at all And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin' We made it here my dear Grandkids and the mortgage paid off Is this what dreams are made of? Cause baby we made it Yeah baby you saved me But nothing could save him From the ambulance that day When he went away The heart attack was sharp He didn't feel no pain If you saw him now then what What would you say I love you and I miss you I owe you everything And I hope you know you saved me Oh mother Mother please don't cry Cause you know I miss him too I didn't even say goodbye And though he's gone, I know he's gone He lives on in all of us And I will hold you when you cry Because that's what he would have done Yeah, that's what he would have done Yeah, that's what he would have done It's been hard, oh it's been hard But he's a part of all of us And we will hold you when you cry Because that's what family does
