Moon & Back

(album: Torres - 2013)

Little baby, if you're reading this
You're probably all grown the way most babies do
I'm sure your eyes are still their pretty blue

I'm writing to you from 1991
The year I gave you to
A mama with a girl and son

Please don't look at this like a hit and run
In a breath I felt you leaving like the setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby, for a short time I had you to break my fall, fall, fall

Your new daddy, yeah, he loves you too
"To the moon and back" he said
When I laid you in his arms
And he kissed your soft blonde head

Please don't look at this like a hit and run
In a breath I felt you leaving like the setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby, for a short time I had you to break my fall, fall, fall

Your new family knows
I did this all for you
Maybe one day you'll believe it too

Please don't look at this like a hit and run
In a breath I felt you leaving like the setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby, for a short time I had you to break my fall, fall, fall

Please don't look at this like a hit and run
In a breath I felt you leaving like the setting sun
Life just thought that I should draw the shortest straw
But little baby, for a short time I had you to break my fall, fall, fall
