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
