Baby come and look
At this dusty yearbook
Do you remember those two kids?
It's you and me
Most likely to succeed
Had it all planned out yes we did
You were off to college gonna practice law
I was gonna play football
But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma 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
The fall came and went
And so did are friends
Off doing all the things we thought we would
It was tough I know
But we never let go
Kept holdin' onto prayers
We thought we could
And then that morning in December
Don' you remember?
When we threw it all away
That's 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
Ain't 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
I was gonna play football
But we threw it all away
That's what the whole town had to say
Momma 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
