You're getting older now I see the lines around your smile I see what's coming 'round the corner And that's a lot for an only child Cause I don't know yet If I want kids of my own But I know that if I don't It ends with me
If I had a sister or a brother We could share the burden with each other
Cause one day you'll be gone Then I'll be gone too Don't know if I'll carry it on Oh but someday if I do Then our family name It won't just be mine And I'll see your face When I'm looking in their eyes But that's only If I carry on your bloodline
I'm only 23 I've got my whole life left to live I know I shouldn't think like this But I can't help it You were 43 When you had me You took your time But that took mine And soon you'll leave Then it's just me Left on the family tree
One day you'll be gone Then I'll be gone too Don't know if I'll carry it on Oh but someday if I do Then our family name It won't just be mine And I'll see your face When I'm looking in their eyes But that's only If I carry on your bloodline
Ooh Ahh Ahh
One day you'll be gone And then I'll be gone too If I don't carry it on They'll be nothing left of you And it's a heavy weight That I feel all the time Not having a way To remember you by If I don't carry on your bloodline
