I remember your barefeet down the hallway
I remember your little laugh
Race cars on the kitchen floor
Plastic dinosaurs
I love you to the moon and back

I remember your blue eyes
Looking into mine
Like we had our own secret club
I remember you dancing before bedtime
Then jumping on me, waking me up
I can still feel you hold my hand
Little man, and even the moment I knew
You fought it hard like an army guy

Remember I leaned in and whispered to you
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years

I remember the drive home
When the blind hope
Turned to crying and screaming why
Flowers pile up in the worst way
No one knows what to say about a beautiful boy who died
And it's about to be Halloween
You could be anything
You wanted if you were still here

I remember the last day
When I kissed your face and whispered in your ear
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"

Out of this curtained room and this hospital gray
We'll just disappear
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years

What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you
What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into
And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through
What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you

"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
"Come on baby with me, we're gonna fly away from here"
You were my best four years

I remember your barefeet down the hallway
I love you to the moon and back
