Lou Heffernan - Jump I'll Catch Ya - Remastered Lyrics

I climbed up on the divin' board at my uncle's swimmin' pool
Thinkin' this would be the way to show the big kids I'm cool
I inched my way to the end, took a breath and swallowed hard
But I used up all my courage just to get that far

I peaked down at the water; Uncle Joe was waitin' there
My legs began to shiver, I was cold and scared
I heard a boy shout, He's chicken
Another one just laughed
Uncle Joe whispered to me
Soon they'll want your autograph

Jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Close your eyes, take a step, and leave the rest to me
I promise you will float on angel's wings
So, jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Jump I'll catch ya
You can trust me

When he walked me back to my house, smoke filled the air
A woman cried out desperately, "My son is trapped up there!"
A little boy stood in the window of a house engulfed in flames
Uncle Joe rushed right over; I wondered how he got so brave

He said, jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Close your eyes, take a step, and leave the rest to me
I promise you will float on angel's wings
So, jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Jump I'll catch ya
You can trust me

Thirty years have passed since that day we got so close
Now I stand here helplessly
Uncle Joe is fadin', doctors say it won't be long 'til the Lord sets him free
Then oh, a look of peace comes on his face
It's as if he is hearin' God say

Jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Close your eyes, take a step, and leave the rest to me
I promise you will float on angel's wings
So, jump I'll catch ya
Don't worry 'bout a thing
Jump I'll catch ya
You've got my I guarantee
Jump I'll catch ya
You can trust me

Hmmm, you can trust me
