Dear Graham, after pondering your wonderful suggestions and losing a coupla hours sleep, I've decided to leave it as is. Your suggestions really are good and put the song in focus.. Focus being the mom and boy who grows up. But it would leave out "us" Us being the listeners who could identify with the song, boys/girls who have memories of their own words from daddy. See it's not about continuity, for "us" time stopped around all those memories. There is no continuity. The last two times I sing the chorus it's not so much literal as it is a rememberance of things from the past. So I must withhold the pen, for now
