Some Other Time (Avery's Hymn)
by Andrew Greer

Album: Open Book

Hello my baby girl, come up into the world
How was that first breath of fresh air?
Take a look around, the sights, every single sound
Oh how we've been waiting for you dear

Please don't worry now
Tomorrow will come about in its own good time
Glance back at me again
Show me that toothless grin
We'll talk about the world some other time

I think I found the heart of me
She's not that far from me, growing up just down the hall
I think I hear a solo
She says, daddy am I beautiful at all?
Oh how the world can be so mean

Let's just take a drive, clear our foggy minds
Tomorrow will come in its own good time
Just brush away those tears
Darlin' you know I'm right here
We'll talk about the world some other time

She'll go to Sunday School
And probably learn the golden rule
And maybe she'll turn out just fine

But who knows what she'll have to go through
What this old world can do
So Jesus hold her for dear life

When it's my turn to leave, take it slow and deeply
Time will bring some peace of mind
Toss a piece of dirt, back into the cold earth

But please don't worry now
Tomorrow will come about in its own good time
Glance back at me and grin
But don't you dare stop movin'
We'll talk about the world some other time
