Some Things Are Meant To Be

When you were firstborn
Not an hour old, I told Maumee, "Beth is mine"
Everyone has someone special in the world, and I have you
My sweet Beth, give me a task to do

Let's pretend we're riding on a kite
Let's imagine we're flying through the air
We'll ascend until we're out of sight
Light as paper, we'll soar
Let's be wild, up high above the sand

Feel the wind, the world at our command
Let's enjoy the view and never land
Floating far from the shore
Some things are meant to be, the clouds moving fast and free
The sun on a silver sea

A sky that's bright and blue
And some things will never end
The thrill of our magic ride
The love that I feel inside for you

We'll climb high beyond the break of day
Sleep on stardust, and dine on bits of moon
You and I will find the Milky Way
We'll be mad (we'll be mad) and explore (and explore)

We'll recline a loft upon the breeze
Dart about (dart about) sail on wit with ease
Pass the days doing only as we please
That's what living is for

Some things are meant to be
The tide turning endlessly
The way it takes hold of me
No matter what I do

And some things will never die
The promise of who you are
Your memories when I am far from you
All my life
I've lived for loving you
Let me go now
