BACK AND FORTH

 

Sunlight creeping through the blinds 
Sound machines to drown out noise 
All the details are so clear to me

Baskets filled with blocks and balls
Shelves and shelves of books and dolls
I look down and never want to leave 

Back and forth we rock and sway 
Wouldn’t have it any other way 
Your eyes are closed 
Your fingers curled
Darling, you are my whole world 
I think about how life has taken course 
As we rock back and forth 

Memories roll through my mind 
Of when you came into my life 
I can’t imagine not having you around 

Snuggled in so safe and warm 
We both dream of what’s to come
I don’t want to ever put you down

Back and forth we rock and sway 
Wouldn’t have it any other way 
Your little lips
Your button nose
I’m so tired, but that’s how it goes
I smile cause I couldn’t love you more 
And we rock back and forth 

Back and forth
Back and forth
