Frank Sinatra ? Michael and Peter Michael is you He has your face He still has your eyes remember Peter is me ’cept when he smiles And if you look at them both for a while You can see they are you they are me This spring we had some heavy rain By summer it was dry again The roses that we planted last fall Climb the wall I think the house could use some paint You know your mother’s such a saint She takes the boys whenever she can She sure needs a man All those years I’ve worked for Santa Fe Never ever missed a single day Just one more without a raise in pay and I’m leavin’ And the air still has a country smell And everyone is looking well As far as anyone can tell the sun will rise tomorrow You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’ John Henry came to cut the lawn Again he asked me where you’d gone Can’t tell you all the times he’s been told But he’s so old Guess that’s all the news I’ve got today Least that’s all the news that I can say Maybe soon the words will come my way tomorrow And the air still has a country smell And everyone is looking well As far as anyone can tell the sun will rise tomorrow You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’ You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’ Repeat and fade out

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques d'une vie de famille, où les deux enfants, Michael et Peter, sont le reflet de leur père. Le narrateur se remémore des moments passés, parlant des petits détails du quotidien : le jardin, la météo, le travail, et les défis de la vie. Il présente une image d’une existence simple mais pleine de significations, comme l’amour des enfants et le soutien d'une mère dévouée. Le contexte dépeint une vie rurale, où les saisons influencent les activités et les émotions. Les tensions liées au travail et le désir de changement s’ajoutent à ce tableau familial. Cette chanson pourrait bien toucher quiconque se reconnait dans le fil du temps et les petites joies de la vie quotidienne.
