17 To Me

I remember when you'd call me Just to tell me what was on TV And how you said You loved me more than anything I remember eating ice cream And all the stories that you told me When we'd get in the car you'd say Buckle up for safety You'd say keep me in your prayers As I do you in mine And I knew He was the center of your life I know you lived a long life and you loved me for a long, long time But you were only 17 to me I'm thankful for that 17 with you I know you're up there pain-free And you're praising Him with all your strength I think about you daily But I know you're where you need to be I can't wait to be there too someday I know I'll see you again someday You'd say keep me in your prayers As I do you in mine And I knew He was the center of your life I know you lived a long life and you loved me for a long, long time But you were only 17 to me I'm thankful for that 17 with you You'd say keep me in your prayers As I do you in mine Now I know He's up there holding you so tight
