Little Noah

Little one
You don't know
How I miss your face each and every day
When I sleep
And when I wake
I can still hear all the funny sounds you make

And I don't think
That it's okay
That she could pack it up and take you far away
And when you're older
Somewhere down the line
You might start asking for reasons why

But little Noah
Little baby
You should know there's nothing wrong with you
Little Noah
Little baby
This world is a disaster
And she and I are too
But little Noah
Nothing could ever be as perfect as you

In photographs
And in my mind
I am watching your life quickly flashing by
From afar
Cause where you are
Isn't any place I'm welcome anymore

And it hurts
More than I can tell
That I never got the chance to know you well
Now I know
I'm too slow
At boldly jumping headlong into the unknown

But little Noah
Little baby
You should know there's nothing wrong with you
Little Noah
Little baby
This world is hurting deeply
And she and I are too
And little Noah
Nothing will ever be as perfect as you

I love you
And I love her
And I still hold out hope that one day you'll return
