Take It - Marcel

Third grade, bell rings

Kamikazes on the playground swings

We teeter-tottered

And played on the merry-go-round

She had it tough, she didn’t have much

I said «Come on over you can share my stuff»

Here’s my GI Joe, my comic book

My Grandpa’s collection of fishing hooks

My wiffle ball bat, my Dodgers baseball cap

If you like fast cars, sorry this aren’t real

But we can race my Ferrari Hot Wheels

I’m willin' to give you my bike

If you won’t break it

Go on and take it

High school, math class

I was failin' 'til she helped me pass

She cheered me on

When I hit the winnin' home run

She had torn jeans and worn out shoes

I said «What's mine is yours to use.»

Here’s my letter jacket, my high school ring

My locker combination, you can take anything

My autographed picture of Johnny Cash

And if you like rock 'n' roll, then here take these

My mint collection of Beatle LP’s

I’m willin' to give you my car

If you won’t break it

Well, go on and take it

A few years later we were closer than ever

Spendin' more and more time together

I took her down to the Stony Creek River

Somethin' more that I had to give her.

Here's

The key to my house, now it’s your house too

Here’s some wild flowers that I picked for you

A bottle of wine, it’s been aging since '69

Here’s a diamond ring my grandma wore

She said ,"In time you’ll find the one it’s for."

I’m willin' to give you my heart

If you won’t break it

Well, go on and take it

Go on and take it

Take it…
