Looking back at my old school
I think of the things that I used to do
and I remember
those crazy days gone by
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
be changin' what was then
But after everything's been said and done
I'm glad you are my friend

And it's a sweet mystery
that you love me like you do
Oh it's a sweet mystery to me

Little boy that my mama knew
became a full grown man
I live my life like you taught me to
you know I try the best that I can
And your tender love is so much more
than the naked eye can see
When my daddy said I love you boy
you know it meant the world to me
