Kid

[Verse 2: Annakin Slayd] It was fall 1998 at the rally 3000 Expos fans was the tally Vlad was there, Rusty gushed about Jarry But I knew I couldn't leave without talking to Gary Had to tell him all about the day 6 years prior The night of his last game the night Kid retired Had tickets in the bleachers, but I snuck down Needed to say bye the only way I knew how I told him I made a sign, spent all night drawing And all I wanted was to make sure that he saw it The slightest acknowledgement, would've been worth the while But I was thrilled when I got a thumbs up and a smile Then we stood together, singing the anthem loud Posed for the cameras, held my sign up proud The next morning Dad showed me the paper cover There was Gary, hand on heart and me right above him When I told Kid the story, he smiled and asked my name And said he had that same pic at home in a frame Today I got it hanging in my studio office It's signed God Bless you, "The Kid" Gary Carter [Chorus] Here's looking at you Kid To your classic style I won't forget the passion in your eyes Here's looking at you Kid For being bigger than life And I know I'll never forget your smile [Verse 2: Annakin Slayd] I can't imagine you playing hoops, kicking a punt Can't imagine you fielding flyballs and not bunts Can't imagine how it felt to lose your mom So young but your dream to make the bigs lived on Imagine how it felt to be so close and not win it Imagine being the very last hope and still hit it They don't make 'em like you anymore, these days A player who smiles for fans and loves the game Wanted to play like you, know everything about you And now I can't imagine my childhood without you Never would have been that great team without Kid's help And without the team, might've never been a kid myself I promise when I'm down, I'll think of that fall day If I need inspiration, I'll think of how you played If I need to act with class, I'll copy your style If I need to feel young again I'll think of your smile [Chorus] Here's looking at you Kid To your classic style I won't forget the passion in your eyes Here's looking at you Kid For being bigger than life And I know I'll never forget your smile Won't forget your smile
