Lyrics written by: Eddie Garcia
Music transposed by: Eddie Garcia
G
We were raised in a little house
With three of us lord it must’ve been rough
C G
But mom and daddy knew just what to do
They tried to teach us right from wrong
About the lord and the angels above
C D
But there were things I never understood…
(chorus)
C D
Like where they went when the sun came up
G F#m Em
Some other lady taking care of us
Am C D
Waiting by the door late afternoon
C D
The way he laughed and the way she smiled
G F#m Em
The loving hugs that lasted for a while
Am C D
The sun went down to fast and way to soon
C D G
Lord I wish I could’ve understood…
G C D G
G
Now we’re all grown and we’ve our ways
I’ve got two kids begging me to play
C G
But what I do takes up most of my time
We try to teach them right from wrong
About the lord and the angels above
C D
But in they’re eyes I see the past I knew…
(repeat chorus)
C D
Like where we go when the sun comes up
G F#m Em
Some other lady taking care of ‘em
Am C D
Waiting by the door late afternoon
C D
The way I laugh and the way she smiles
G Em
The loving hugs that last for a while
Am C D
The sun goes down to fast and way to soon
C D G
Lord I wish they somehow understood…
(outro)
C D
We try to do the best we can
G F#m Em
To give them love and make them understand
Am C D
Why we have to do the things we do
C D G F#m Em
Lord I wish they somehow understood
C D G
How I wish they could’ve understood…
