If You Fall

My baby climbs up high Sometimes too high for me to see As she reaches for the sky She turns around and smiles right back at me I know I cannot stop her From climbing far away But I won't cry because I know She'll come down again some day And like the leaves upon the trees You'll hardly make a sound As you make your way To meet the earth and kiss the ground And 'til that day you can just sit up there And stare on down at me from your tree And if you fall You can fall on me My baby climbs up high Sometimes too high for me to follow And we must say goodbye But I'll still call tomorrow I know I cannot stop her From reaching for the stars But I won't waste this love we have So I'll watch her from afar And like the leaves upon the trees You'll hardly make a sound As you make your way To meet the earth and kiss the ground And 'til that day you can just sit up there And stare on down at me from your tree And if you fall You can fall on me And I, I will try Through it all to break your fall Oh, and I will be here To catch your tears If you have fears through the night I'll be there if you dare You dare to venture out of sight I'll be your guiding light And like the leaves upon the trees You'll hardly make a sound As you make your way To meet the earth and kiss the ground And 'til that day you can just sit up there And stare on down at me from your tree And if you fall You can fall on me And if you fall You can fall on me
