“Sweet Baby Blue”

My Sweet Baby Blue
How could I ever give up on you
Not quite where others expect me to be
Seem to be
Giving up on me
Putting my dreams on the back burner
As if I could never return
As if this redirection isn’t a blessing but a burn
A burn to my hopes and wishes
How could I ever give that up
For something so small that could be taken away
Could always have another,
Sweet Baby Blue
But dreams don’t last forever
No, not like you do
In my mind
Or in my life
Which one would I rather choose
To hold my Sweet Baby Blue in my mind
Or hold my Sweet Baby Blue in my arms
A decision that has me askew
So I care for your maker
Seems like my first true love, again
How quickly Blue came to
Makes me wonder, Do I really know you
Give you all my heart
Like everything depended on it
Me, you, Blue
Everything depended on it
But in the end it feels like it’s all for nothing
Except Sweet Baby Blue
Because even though I can’t have your maker
I’ll never stop loving you
My Sweet Baby Blue
I can imagine your smile
How sweet and innocently so
How your laugh will echo through my heart
Like a cave with never ending songs
My Sweet Baby Blue
I can’t wait to hold you close
Smell your scent that says I’m finally here
As you bring me tears of joy
