Good Man
India.Arie(인디아 아리) Lyrics

I remember the first day
The beginning of our relationship was very special to me.

I met you
The day we first laid eyes on each other.

we were so young
Our love was innocent and pure, unjaded by the world.

you were a blessing
You came into my life as a precious gift from God.

and there was no guessing
I knew from the moment I saw you that we were meant to be together.

you were the one
My heart knew that you were the person I wanted to share my life with.

Love is so crazy
The mystery of love is an inexplicable and overwhelming force.

We had a baby
Our love brought forth new life in the form of our child.

and said our vows
We committed ourselves to each other for better or for worse.

That's when you told me
You revealed a secret to me that you had been carrying in your heart.

should anything happen
In the event of the worst possible scenario.

I can hear you now
These words still ring loud and clear in my heart and mind.

If the sun comes up
When the morning light breaks through the darkness.

and I'm not home
If I'm not physically present by your side.

be strong
Find the strength within yourself to keep going.

If I'm not beside you
When I'm not there to share in your moments of joy and sorrow.

Do your best to carry on
Hold your head up high and continue living your life with grace and dignity.

Tell the kids about me
One day, when they are mature enough to understand.

when they're old enough to understand
When they have the emotional maturity to comprehend the significance of my words.

tell them that their daddy was a good man
Speak fondly of me and the kind of person I was.

First anniversary
The first year of our marriage.

remember we chose a star
We celebrated our love by selecting a star in the night sky.

And as I stand under it
Whenever I gaze upon its light.

I can't help but wonder if
I ponder whether you're looking upon it as well.

You see it where you are
In the place where you now reside.

For whatever reason
Despite any obstacles that may come our way.

You don't see the seasons
Even if you don't witness the changing of the seasons.

Change again
It will come to pass.

Go there with peace of mind
Find solace in the knowledge that we will be reunited one day.

We'll meet on the other side
When we leave this earthly realm and enter the next.

Cause true Love don't end
Our love for each other transcends death.

Two eyes looking up at me
The eyes of our child, innocent and curious.

Pointing to a picture like where is he
Searching for the image of their father.

Mamma are you OK
Expressing concern for my well-being.

What did the paper say
Enquiring about the message contained within the document.

To make you cry that way
Wondering what could move me to tears.

it said your Daddy lived for you
Revealing the depth of their father's love for them.

and your daddy died for you
Explaining the ultimate sacrifice he made for his family.

and I'll do the same
Promising to always be there for our child no matter what.
