you are loved 3

I am an old, old man
yes I am
a long time on this planet
I need to talk to you
yes I do
so shut those phones off
damnit
I'm getting up in years
but still have my eyes and ears 
about me
here's what I want you to hear
before I disappear
before it's time to live without me

you are smart
you are strong
you're my child
you belong
you make it through
when times get tough
you are loved

I may not be here to see
what you're going to be
but that don't mean I'm gone
I'll speak to you in memory
I'll never leave
this love goes on and on

you are strong
you are smart
there's always room
inside your heart
you know exactly
what you're made of
you are loved

          I never learned to say I love you
          well, I'm saying it to you now

you make me laugh
you are wise
I see kindness
shining in your eyes
like the brightest
stars above
you are loved

you are smart
you are strong
you're my child
you belong
you make it through
when times get tough
you are loved
you are loved
