My Baby
(as recorded, my take)
When you came to me, crying from a dream
Feeling so small, my baby
I held you in my arms, kissed away the harm
From your last fall, my baby
Suddenly you see how it's meant to be
When you stand tall, my baby
You and I know flowers only grow
When the rain falls, my baby
Like a runaway train
Like your face in the rain
Like a star so far away
You can't know from where it came
Like the winter snow
Like the way you know
By the way we said goodbye on the day
Of our first hello, I will
Love you
Sleep beneath moon, watching it consume
A new day, my baby
Though your eyes are tired from wanting with desire
In a new way, my baby
Lying with you seems like waking from a dream
When you say, "my baby"
Everything before left me wanting more
So I'll stay your baby
Like a runaway train
Like your face in the rain
Like a star so far away
You can't know from where it came
Like the winter song
Like the way you know
By the way we said goodbye on the day
Of our first hello, I will
Love you
Still you're holding on to memories that are gone
While I kneel, my baby
And I can try to make you give me what you take
But I don't steal, my baby
So if you want to show how you really know
What I feel, my baby
Then let me start a new memory with you
And let us heal, my baby
Like a runaway train
Like your face in the rain
Like a star so far away
You can't know from where it came
Like the winter snow
Like the way you know
By the way we said goodbye on the day
Of our first hello, I will
Love you
