I'm Going Back

i'm going back
to when you were three
you looked at the world
so innocently
yes i'm going back
the way we all do
when life was easier for you

i'm going back
to afternoon light
to long summer days
and dreams through the night
forever a king
the world at your feet
a smile just for you
a kiss on your cheek

and i know it isn't easy remembering
and i know it isn't easy to hear
but she wants you to know
she's near

i'm going back
to easier times
i'll stay til you fall asleep in my arms
my hand in your hand
and hope in your heart
i'd give anything to bring you back
to the start
i'd give anything to bring you back
to the start
