I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

Martha

Leaves
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
Seems just like yesterday
When we brought her home
I still see that face
Even though…she’s grown
And yesterday..is gone.


[Verse 2-]
Oh, how she held on to me
She’d never let go
I was her everything
But she had to grow
Now I, I hold on

[CHORUS-]
No matter the reason, or the season
I’ll lift her high above all
I hope that she knows, the wind will blow
But it’s ok to fall
And I…can’t wait to see where she plants her own seeds
But I’ll always be her tree…even when she leaves.

[Verse 3-]
I taught her roots, they run deep
I’ve watched her branch out
Into who she wants to be
When she decides to go
She’ll take a part of my soul

[CHORUS-]
No matter the reason, or the season
I’ll lift her high above all
I hope that she knows, the wind will blow
But it’s ok to fall
And I…can’t wait to see where she plants her own seeds
But I’ll always be her tree…She’ll always be a part of me
Yeah, I’ll always be her tree…even when she leaves.
