| The first time that I held you I couldn’t catch my breath
|
| Cuz I knew someday I’d have to let you go
|
| I’m supposed to raise you to have the strength to leave the nest
|
| But the day that you leave this home my heart will leave my chest
|
| Just know I’ll always be here every time you need to rest
|
| Back into my arms again
|
| In my heart I’ll always hold you cuz you’re still my baby doll
|
| My darling, I’ll protect you from it all
|
| You’ve been learning how to walk away since we taught you how to crawl
|
| But someday I’ll be holding hands with the shadows in these walls
|
| Just know I’ll always be here every time that you fall
|
| Back into my arms again
|
| The last time that I held you I couldn’t catch my breath
|
| I knew that it was time to let you go
|
| I gave you your roots so I had to give you wings
|
| But watching you fly away is a heartbreaking thing
|
| This old house is way too quiet, I miss hearing you sing
|
| Come back into arms again
|
| I’m not the kind of person who’s good with goodbyes
|
| So I’ll just save you a seat at the table again tonight |
| I made your favorite recipe but it just wasn’t the same
|
| If I could you know that I would do it all again
|
| I choose to believe that good things never end
|
| Come back into my arms again |
