Baby At My Knees

Baby at my knees, I think I see
You trying to figure what to do
Everything's so strange, you're life has changed
Into everything it was going to
You're at the door, dunno what for
You don't understand what it means
I will be here to calm your fears
And help you understand your dreams

Baby at my knees, I beg you please
Never leave your feelings on the shelf
Baby in your eyes, I realize
I never wanna live with just myself

Baby at my knees, it's you I need
Like I need the winter every spring
The old's gone down, the new's been found
Making the whole world so crystal clean
This time of year, now that you're here
I see you teach the trees how to grow
And as I climb, I know I find
You teaching me something I need to know

Baby at my knees, I beg you please
Never leave your feelings on the shelf
Baby in your eyes, I realize
I never wanna live with just myself

Baby at my knees, I do believe
There's a real good reason why we're here
Some call it love, some call it God
And some call it overcoming fear
You twist your head, the words I've said
Make you look beyond what you can see
In your own time, I hope you find
That you wanna turn and give it back to me

Baby at my knees, I beg you please
Never leave your feelings on the shelf
Baby in your eyes, I realize
I never wanna live with just myself
