Message up the hill
To say I'm with you still
I think about you all the time
You know I always will
You're just up the ridge. I could be there in a minute
But I drew a circle round me and I've got to stay within it
I wave from the driveway but you don't understand
You wiggle in your father's arms and reach out with your hand
Owl moon and singing about firetrucks and cars
From the Johnny jump up to strumming my guitar
When you came into this world I could surely see
The universe expanding, reaching way past me
In the time that you have grown
I feel in my heart and bones
The same love that I have known
When I held your dad
Video or telephone helps the time to pass
But it's like looking through a window with my face pressed to the glass
The day that this is over and everything's all right
I will take you in my arms and hold you oh so tight
