[Santana:]
You were in college working
part time waiting tables
Left the small town,
never looked back
I was a flight risk
with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother
with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch?"
The moment I could see it.
Yes, yes, I can see it now.
Do you remember,
we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me
for the first time
You made a rebel of
a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing
that's ever been mine
Flash forward and
we're taking on the world together,
And there's a drawer of my things
at your place
You learn my secrets
and you figure out why I'm guarded,
You say
we'll never make my parents' mistakes.
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
Do you remember,
we were sitting there, by the water?
You put your arm around me
for the first time
You made a rebel of
a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing
that's ever been mine
Do you remember
all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe
for the first time
You made a rebel of
a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing
that's ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
When everything was slipping
right out of our hands
And I ran out crying and you
followed me out into the streets
Braced myself for the "Goodbye"
Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
You said,
"I remember how we felt
sitting by the water
And every time I look at you,
it's like the first time
I fell in love with
a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing
that's ever been mine"
You made a rebel of
a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing
that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
