Lyrics
Looking back at my old school
Reflecting on memories from my old school
I think of the things that I used to do
Recalling past activities and experiences
And I remember
Nostalgically remembering
Those crazy days gone by
Recollection of the wild and carefree days
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
Expressing a desire to revisit the past
Be changin' what was then
Wishing to change or improve past actions
But after everything's been said and done
Reflecting on past experiences and decisions
I'm glad you are my friend
Expressing gratitude for the friendship
And it's a sweet mystery
Highlighting the mysterious nature of a positive relationship
That you love me like you do
Expressing surprise or wonder at the depth of love
Oh it's a sweet mystery to me
Reiterating the mysterious and special nature of the relationship
Little boy that my mama knew
Referring to the speaker's childhood self known by their mother
Became a full grown man
Transitioning into adulthood as guided by parental influence
I live my life like you taught me to
Living life according to the teachings received
You know I try the best that I can
Expressing effort in trying to do the best
And your tender love is so much more
Acknowledging the depth of parental love
Than the naked eye can see
Describing the profound nature of love beyond surface appearances
When my daddy said I love you boy
Recalling a significant moment of paternal affection
You know it meant the world to me
Highlighting the immense value of paternal affirmation
