Verse 1:
She came into his life when he was young,
And with her first cry all his youth was gone.
He told them both He knew they’d be all right…
If only they could make it through the night

Verse 2:
Then soon enough her cries became her words,
And all her thoughts and playful schemes Were heard.
When from her peaceful dreams she woke with fright…
He laid with her and held her through the night

Chorus:
A man can understand the plans he’s made.
He weighs the risks as every hand is played.
But foolish plans and goals are bound to change,
As he encounters more important things

Verse 3:
The days became a blur and soon she’d grown,
With eagerness to build a life her own.
He let her drive away without a fight…
But laid awake and prayed all through the night.

Verse 4:
As she pursued her dreams and faced her fears,
He watched her plans unfolding through the years.
And whether skies were grey or days were bright…
She’d call him up and talk all through the night.

Chorus:
A man can understand the plans he’s made.
He weighs the risks as every hand is played.
But foolish plans and goals are bound to change,
As he encounters more important things

Verse 5:
As seasons change, the time, like water flows,
And though the body fails, love only grows.
When dimness filled his eyes, that once were bright,
She stayed with him and held him through the night

He knew his time was near, his final flight,
And she embraced him gently through the night.

Verse 6:
With tearful eyes, she whispered her goodbyes.
She softly smiled because she realized…
His memory and love still burning bright,
Would comfort her through life’s remaining nights.

Chorus:
A man can understand the plans he’s made.
We weighs the risks as every hand is played.
But foolish plans and goals are bound to change,
As he encounters more important things
