Lyrics to Song For Sammy
This is the first time
That I've ever loved anything more than life itself
I never knew my heart could expand to this size
This is the first time
That I've ever jumped out of my head and left it behind
And I don't think that I wanna rush back inside
How could it be his little hands grew inside of me?
I never made anything so perfectly
This is the first time
That I've ever seen beauty in dust caught by the sunlight
Falling around us in the quiet
This is the first time
That I haven't been able to keep out all of the pain that goes on
'Cause every man now is somebody's son
How could it be those little toes grew inside of me?
I never made anything so perfectly
Oh, but the nightmares, they don't stop
The ones where I can't find you
Or I've left you alone in the dark
And I run, screaming
Shouting, "Where is my baby? Where has my baby gone?"
Without him, I simply could never go on
This is the end
And also the beginning of everything we are
We were one, then two, now we are three
How could it be his little heart grew inside of me?
There's so much to lose now, it's terrifying
But look what we made, isn't he just perfect?
That I've ever loved anything more than life itself
I never knew my heart could expand to this size
This is the first time
That I've ever jumped out of my head and left it behind
And I don't think that I wanna rush back inside
How could it be his little hands grew inside of me?
I never made anything so perfectly
This is the first time
That I've ever seen beauty in dust caught by the sunlight
Falling around us in the quiet
This is the first time
That I haven't been able to keep out all of the pain that goes on
'Cause every man now is somebody's son
How could it be those little toes grew inside of me?
I never made anything so perfectly
Oh, but the nightmares, they don't stop
The ones where I can't find you
Or I've left you alone in the dark
And I run, screaming
Shouting, "Where is my baby? Where has my baby gone?"
Without him, I simply could never go on
This is the end
And also the beginning of everything we are
We were one, then two, now we are three
How could it be his little heart grew inside of me?
There's so much to lose now, it's terrifying
But look what we made, isn't he just perfect?
