Four kids and a few jobs later And the pictures fill the pages It's been hard, oh it's been hard But you'd be a fool to give it up 'Cause you know that what we've got is bigger than the two of us It's been hard, oh it's been hard But it's bigger than the two of us And I will hold you in my arms When you feel like giving up Love just don't go that way no more Chorus And now its two-thousand-and-sumthin' We made it here my dear Grandkids and the mortgage paid off Is this what dreams are made of?

Yeah, that's what he would've done (Oh mother!) Yeah, that's what he would've done It's been hard, oh it's been hard But he's a part of all of us And we will hold you when you cry 'Cause that's what family does | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# A#m C# Cm D# Fm G G# |
