If Something Should Happen

Buddy, you and me go way back
Camp all June, all through high school and before that
So I don't mind tellin' you I'm scared to death
The doctor is goin' in on the 25th
It's the same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fastBut if something should happen
Stop in some time and say, "Hello" to Catherine
You and Marianne could always keep her laughing
'Cause she's gonna need a lot of thatTake her out to a movie
It's gonna take sometime before she's back on her feet
I know you think that I'll be fine and I'm talkin' crazy
But there's always that chance, that's why I'm askin'
If something should happenLittle Nathan is growing up so fast
This November, he'll turn 10, he wants to play quarterback
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But I may not get to after all
He's gonna need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it backIf something should happen
Oh, promise me, you'll take that boy out campin'
Throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer any questions that he hasMaybe once he gets older
You can sit and have that first cold beer together
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known you're my best friend, that's why I'm askin'
If something should happenI hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married and have babies
And make a million more memories with my wife
Yeah buddy, I pray alright
But if it's my time to leave
Could you watch over them for me?If something should happen
If something should happen
If something should happen
If something should happen
