Story Behind The Song
This song was written on a fall day. This song came about while reflecting on how life has changed upon becoming a parent. This song has country elements. I have incorporated more country as the years have passed but I definitely stick to my pop rock roots as much as possible.

Lyrics
My kid looks at the sky where the birds fly so high.
One day you'll find rest, for now just close your eyes.
Now open them up and see the world you've made for me.
Today might be the best. It's all starting to make sense.
I, I love, these days the sight, smell, and feel of your face.
Thinking back I feel the nights surround me hold me tight.
Forever the thought of you rests in the depth of my mind.
Kind words fall from your lips. They're felt in your fingertips.
Now get up it's time to go and carry me back home.
I miss the sight, smell, and taste of your kiss.
I miss the sight, smell, and feel of your lips.
