Baked Apples Lyrics

When I was a young girl

You lifted me high

Higher than I've ever been

You wiped off my tears

But allowed me to cry

Made me comfortable in my own skin

Baked apples and elephants

Your hands on my shoulders

I stood on my toes so you'd reach me

I wish you were here

Now that I am much older

There's so much I know you could teach me

About life

About life

About life

About life

You taught me to read

While you soothed me to sleep

Rubbed my back when I'm scared of the dark

No matter the nightmare

You chased it away

Kept the monsters from stealing my spark

I look to the ceiling, pretend that it's you

And suspend disbelief for a minute

And when I feel lost, and don't know what to do

I look to my heart cuz you're in it

For life

For life

For life

For life

And when I think of you I cry

And when I think of you it's like I'm saying goodbye for the millionth time

And when I think of you I smile

And when I think of you it's like you're here with me for a little while longer

For life

For life

For life

For life

When I was a young girl

You lifted me high

Higher than I've ever been
