Ride On

Beautiful baby
ride wont you ride
don't look back
look up at the sky
don't let them see
those gorgeous blue tears
Baby, you know im always here

Ride baby ride
up on your great steed
watch the willows dance as you gain speed
Don't turn your head
they don't need to see
Let it be a secret between you and me

Beautiful Baby
Let down your golden hair
look up at the sun
let them all stare
Ride to the music
of the wavering trees
ride baby ride
Forever you'll be

Beautiful baby
eyes like green stalks
On your sleeve don't wear your heart
Don't let them see 
the scars that they made
Beautiful baby
Like your horse
you must be brave

Beautiful Baby
Ride wont you ride
Don't let them see
Baby look up at the sky


Written For My Best Friend Brooke Taylor Snyder and her horse Snookie
