Lyrics

When These Walls Were Blue
Jeff Middleton & Mark Elliott

We brought you home nervous and scared
Laid you down in your crib, it was right over there
By your box full of toys, your Teddy Bear too
It started out us but it became you

Your ball, your bat
Your Little League trophies, my old Yankee?s hat
This room has changed
But I can see through the posters and paint
And I?m still holding you
Back when these walls were blue

I close my eyes and I can still hear
That little boy crying those three am. tears
We?d rock in that chair your granddaddy made
But when I look around now it?s all been replaced

By your mess, your guitars
Your pictures of girls, rock bands and cars
This room has changed
But I can see through the posters and paint
And I?m still holding you
Back when these walls were blue

I always knew this day would come
You?d be out there on your own
Calling somewhere else home

This room has changed
But when I?m standing here it?s like yesterday
And I?m still holding you
Back when these walls were blue

And I?m still holding you
Back when these walls were blue
