Analysis of Here Today Gone Tomorrow

I knew one day
you'd spread your wings
you'd take my heart
when you cut
our strings

Now it's all changed
as that day is here
the anxiety of a loss
is what i fear

With tears in our eyes
you tell me 'don't cry,
I've groomed my feathers
so I'll fly really high

As i watch her wings
spread far and wide
the metaphoric example
of a future so bright

I swallow the knot
that is in my throat
as i watch her take off
and i feel life broke

True to you
my beautiful daughter
my smile came back
within the hour

I picked up the phone
to hear your voice
as you go on and on
with your girlie stories

These silly moments
i've come to cherish
no matter your age
you will always be
with me
