Lyrics

I WISH YOU MORE THAN WELL

We have always been together
Since before you were born,
From those building blocks with letters
To your fifth Christmas morn.
Though I can't be there with you
After that first school bell,
In each and every thing you do,
I wish you more than well.

In the enchanted space
Between Heaven and Hell,
I'll cover you with grace
And wish you more than well.
I'll wish you more than well.

I blink one time and there you are
Graduating from high school.
I blink again and there you are
Finishing college too.
I know you won't be living here
After that wedding bell,
So, for you and your wife so dear,
I wish you more than well.

In the vastness of space
Between Heaven and Hell,
I'll cover you with grace
And wish you more than well.
I'll wish you more than well.

Three grandchildren and another due -
Your mom and I are thrilled.
We've always been so proud of you,
And those big shoes you've filled.
Didn't expect that heart attack
Or this funeral bell.
Death won't change one simple fact -
I wish you more than well.

In the uncharted space
Between Heaven and Hell,
I'll cover you with grace
And wish you more than well.
I'll wish you more than well.
