Miles Ryan - Marley's Song [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Rushing through maternity
We spent like 12 hours in this room
God damn, shit feels like an eternity
I keep asking are you out yet
I know your mama probably want to murder me
We told the nurse to close the curtains please
I keep peeking, I'm so impatient
I can't help it I just want to be the first to see

The little me or little you or little I
But I was no longer I
When I first heard you cry
Doctors took you away
We thought that you might die
All that I could think is I ain't even get to say goodbye
Looked your mama in the eye
She was so sad
She said go dad, shit was so bad
Facing the biggest fear that we both had
And this is what I scribbled in my notepad
I told you I would would spend all my life

[Chorus]

Baby I would spend all my life
Trying to do right by you
And I never leave you lone at night
I'll be there when you need me to
And even though I know you might
Miss me when I'm gone
I just hope you know
Know that I do it all for you

Yeah

(x4)
I do it all, I do it, I do it all
Do it all for you

[Verse 2]

You were just a couple weeks old
I used to wrap you in a blanket cause your feet cold
I would tell you how proud I was you made it through
Whisper to you cause your mama still asleep though
Every hour you would cry and I would feed you
And I would think about the things I want to teach you
I just want to be the dad that I never had
I wonder if you needed me like I need you
I used to love picking out your outfits
Then show you to your mama like how's this
I ain't have a job and I loved that
Cause every day you who I'm at the house with
And you your daddy's boy, like to laugh lots
And I would rather that you have more than have nots
So I got back on the music so could have lots
And this is what i scribbled in my laptop
I told you I would spend all my life

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Right around your first birthday
I was going through it in the worst way
Music wasn't moving I was struggling
So every single night I had to work late
Fighting with your mom cause she don't see
That a lost cause what I won't be
And even though I know she got a 9 to 5
I still feel like all the pressure's on me
And you were too young, to really know what it meant
Daddy can't afford rent, cause daddy don't got a cent
So daddy had to leave, just know it hurt me a lot
To know I'd never get back the time I spent
I mean I left my little guy lone
And took away a shoulder you could cry on
And now I wish that I could fly home
So this is what I scribbled in my iPhone
I promised I would spend all my life

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul he keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray you always see your daddy's face
You were my heart when I was close to dying
My guiding light, all that I rely in
So when I'm weary I keep moving on
And I owe it all to Marley Ryan
