"Back Into My Arms" lyrics

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
For now I am 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 my arms again

I'm not the kind of person who's good with goodbyes
So I'll 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
