we threw it all away

baby

come take a look

at this dusty yearbook

do you remember those two kids?

its you and me

most likely to succeed

had it all planned out yes we did

you were off to college gonna practice law

and i was gonna play football

but we threw it all away

thats what the whole town had to say

mama cried

daddy went for a drive

and the whole world changed

not a clue what to do

so i just kept on loving you

on the day

that we threw it all away

that fall came and went

and so did our friends

off doing all the things we thought we would

it was tough i know

but we never let go

kept holding on to prayers we thought we could

and in that morning in december baby

dont you remember?

when we threw it all away

thats what the whole town had to say

with your baby blue eyes

our baby boy cried

and the whole world changed

not a clue what to do

so i just kept on loving you

on the day

that we threw it all away

aint it funny how life works out sometimes

just like we planned

you make all the rules in this house

and i'm quarterbacking for our little man

you were off to college

gonna practice law

and i was gonna play football

but we threw it all away

thats what the whole town had to say

mama cried

daddy went for a drive

and the whole world changed

not a clue what to do

so i just kept on loving you

on the day

that we threw it all

god bless the day

we threw it all away

yeah we threw it all away
