Well your father and I have been friends

Watched the world around us change,
Hoped our hopes, feared our fears

Hold your hand through the highs and lift you up through the lows

And watch over you everywhere that you go
(Same as first verse)
Eva Mae,
I have made many mistakes
In my time
Built my share of bridges and broken hearts
I've told lies
I have not always followed my own advice
I've fallen flat
But Eva darling sometimes that's just life
Eva Mae,
With the way that I am I might not
Much be around
But I'll stop in from time to time to share
The things I've learnt
You should keep your friends and family close
And always always always try to say yes
And we can not ever one of us be perfect
But darling we can try our best
F#m
Now Eva Mae,
D
I won't ever judge your heart,
A E
Just try to be a good girl and do the best with what you got
F#m
Now Eva Mae,
D
I will teach you what I know,
E Asus4
And watch over you everywhere that you go
A
Everywhere that you go
