Makin' sand castles and mud pies
I looked into my mama's lovin' eyes
She took me to the nearby lake, Oh
The quaint memories we make

Those days are now long gone,
They're just memory's on the wall.
I hear the sound of bygone songs
From when I was a child and small

On a hill, near that same lake,
Is where I had my first heartbreak
Thought she'd be my soulmate
In my heart I still feel the ache

My mamma cried, "Don't worry, child.
She would've been bad for you
She turned my tears into a smile
God's got a great plan for you

Fast forward to a different time
I met a girl of a different kind.
A sweeter girl, I could never find
We were in love, but love is blind

We worked hard, she and I
Soon developed family ties
Raised our kids, she and I
When suddenly, she up and died

On a hill, near a different lake
I vowed not to make, the same mistakes
Lookin' for a new soul mate
In my heart, I still feel the ache

Fast forward to more recent times
Met a girl who was decent n kind
A sweeter girl, I could never find
We fell in love, n somethin' came to mind

I recalled when
My mamma cried, "Don't worry, child
God's got a great plan for you
My tears turned into a smile
God's got a great plan for you
