I remember when we were younger
Your daddy wasn't round so much
I remember your mother was angry
Drinking late and sleeping on the couch
I would call you up
I would come around
I remember the broken picture frames in the hallway
As you fell to the floor
I picked you up
I made sure I said

I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby
I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby

I remember the dress that you made
The sequin style
The violet and red
I remember your family changed
The flowers died
The funeral home burnt down
I could call you up
I could come around
I remember the look you gave me
We were walking hand in hand to the gate
You turned around
I made sure i said

I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby
I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby

I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby
I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby
I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby
I care, you know?
I want no one else
Love Me Patiently, Baby"
