Back Into My Arms

The first time that I held you, I couldn't catch my breath 'Cause 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 For now I'm thankful every time you need to rest Back into my arms again In my heart I'll always hold you like 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, and 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 And if I could, you know I would do it all again I choose to believe that good things never end Come back into my arms again Back into my arms again
