Free And Wild

(album: Minnesota - 2019)

Go to sleep my baby child
Let your dreams run free and wild
I'll be there when you wake up
So close your eyes my baby love
And I will catch you when you fall
'Cause your mama loves you most of all
With a love so fierce it almost hurts me
Here come the tears
And now I can't breathe

I'm lucky to love
Lucky to feel
Lucky to have someone in my life who shows me what's real
And what's true
All the things that I'm learning loving you

Your mind is such a magic place
You're filled with vision
Blessed with grace
I love it when you sing along
To your favorite new TV song
But you don't like it when I sing
You say "mama, you're good at other things
Like reading books and doing all the voices"
And when you put your cold feet on me I've no choice but to say

I'm lucky to love
Lucky to feel
Lucky to have someone in my life who shows me what's real
And what's true
All the things that I'm learning loving you

Someday I'll have to let you go
Someday I'll have to trust that you can do it on your own

But until then I'll hold your hand
And someday you will understand
When you have a child yourself
You'll think of how your mother felt
And how I can't imagine my life
Before you came and brought your light
And how your little smile just slays me
How loving you has saved me

Go to sleep my baby child
Let your dreams run free and wild
