Lyrics

My baby climbs up high
Sometimes too high for me to see
As she reaches for the sky
She turns around and smiles right back at me

I know I cannot stop her
From climbing far away
But I won't cry because I know
She'll come down again some day

And like the leaves upon the trees
You'll hardly make a sound
As you make your way
To meet the earth and kiss the ground
And 'til that day you can just sit up there
And stare on down at me from your tree
And if you fall
You can fall on me

My baby climbs up high
Sometimes too high for me to follow
And we must say goodbye
But I'll still call tomorrow

I know I cannot stop her
From reaching for the stars
But I won't waste this love we have
So I'll watch her from afar

And like the leaves upon the trees
You'll hardly make a sound
As you make your way
To meet the earth and kiss the ground
And 'til that day you can just sit up there
And stare on down at me from your tree
And if you fall
You can fall on me

And I, I will try
Through it all to break your fall
Oh, and I will be here
To catch your tears
If you have fears through the night
I'll be there if you dare
You dare to venture out of sight
I'll be your guiding light

And like the leaves upon the trees
You'll hardly make a sound
As you make your way
To meet the earth and kiss the ground
And 'til that day you can just sit up there
And stare on down at me from your tree
And if you fall
You can fall on me
And if you fall
You can fall on me
