Ben Rector - Hank lyrics

rate me

To a boy who looks just like his mother

Who's a sister to her brother

Who sings this song to that boy from far away

I am young but you are younger

Till you speak more words than mumble

You have to lend an ear to everything I say.

So be kind and love your mother and your father

Though sometimes they seem to bother

Come my age and you'll know

They’re the ones who'll always love you and support you

They prayed for you before you stepped foot into this world

That's one thing that I've learned

I remember you were walking

In a month I'll hear you talking

There's a million things I'd love to say to you.

Though your parents, they are wiser

And will be better advisers

Maybe hearing these things twice will get them through

Go and find a girl for whom your love is selfless

Someone who makes you helpless

To change the way you feel

But stay away from girls who always look so pretty

Whose hearts just aren't fitting for the man in you I see

Would you remember that for me?

When you find yourself alone in times of trouble

Reach inside you and above you

There’s nothing He can’t heal

If it is you do not end up with a brother

Just call this older uncle

I would always lend an ear

Would you remember that from me?

Would you remember that from me?
