Confess your kiss still knocks me off my legs
First time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
I will forever because you'll forever be
My one true broken heart pieces inside of me
And you forever my baby

You will rest your head, your strength wants saving
And when you wake you will fly away
Holding tight to the legs of all your angels
Goodbye my love into your blue blue eyes in your blue blue world
You're my baby blue

Confess not quite ready to be left
Still I know I gave my level best
You give, you give, to this I can attest
You made me, you made me, you and me forever baby

You will rest your head, your strength wants saving
And when you wake, you will fly away
Holding tight to the legs of all your angels
Goodbye my love into your blue blue eyes in your blue blue world

You and me forever

    General Comment:Don't think this is about LeRoi, some of the lyrics are indicative of this....."Your kiss still Knocks me off my legs", "your my baby blue"....I think this may be about his sister or ...but really this DAVE!!! Make this awesome song about WHAT EVER YOU want it to be about!!!!!

    General Comment:This song could be about anyone that he has lost in his life. Dave has said so many times that he tries to not make his songs have one meaning and thats it no way around it. It could be about Leroi, his sister, his father or all of them.

    The first time i heard this one i broke down. I had a very very close friend that died 3 years ago of cancer at the age of 23, she has 2 beautiful little boys and it was so hard for me to listen to this one for a long time. To me the lines that pack the most punch...

    You will rest your head, your strength wants saving
    And when you wake you will fly away
    Holding tight to the legs of all your angels

    {She fought so hard, her strength was insane, i will never find anyone with the strength that she had. All the angels that took her home,.and i'm sure that it took many}

    Goodbye my love into your blue blue eyes in your blue blue world
    You're my baby blue

    {She did have blue eyes, but more than that it makes me think of her boys, her baby blues... (plus they both have her eyes}

    You made me, you made me, you and me forever baby

    {We became friends in that pivotal point when you are growing up where everyone around you shapes you and molds you into how you become. She was a major part of what makes me who i am, we did a lot of growing up together. She was the first very close friend that i have ever lost and it's really hard.}

    And this is just how this song makes me feel, who i feel it is written for and i think that's what Dave wants, yes he wrote it for someone in his life, but he wants all of us to take it and mold it into something that we can understand.

    Song Meaning:I saw him in concert over the summer in June 2010 and before he played this song, he said it was for his sister.

    General Comment:on night 3 of the gorge he says, "Thats for my love, Ashley." So maybe he wrote it with her in mind or maybe she just likes it but I know they were going through rough times in the past so who knows... beautiful song and I can see it going both ways.

    General Comment:I think this is about his son. It seems like you can almost picture him holding his baby boy with the lines-

    "you will rest your head
    your strength wants saving
    and when you wake, fly away
    holding tight to the legs
    of all your angels."

    and the referene to "angels" could be all the people Dave and his family have lost are now watching over him and his family.
    it is the same tune to sister, it just seems to be more of a father-son relationship he's singing about now. and one of his twin daughters, Stella literally asked him, daddy when are you going to put me in a song? and he wrote Alligator Pie with that line in mind on a trip to New Orleans (as I've heard THAT in an interview)so possibly he could have been thinking of writing lyrics about his boy (who I believe is his youngest!)

    and it does go ".. your kiss STILL knocks me off my legs" maybe as in even to this day is shocked when his little boy kisses him (?)

    I will admit none of us know, and Dave likes to keep his "meanings" to himself and open for listener interpretation. Also the songwriter sometimes just sings about an imaginary situation, not necessarily his/her life, but like how a story/script writer imagines characters or a scenario.

    My Interpretation:Seems like a simple lullaby for his son. My husband turned into mush everytime he held our babies or got kisses from them. I'd expect no less from any other father or mother. It's often said that babies communicate with the angels.

    General Comment:"I confess I'm not quite ready to be left
    Still I know I gave my level best.."


    wow this line just floors me every time i hear it. It is so simplistic but still you feel so much pain in such a simple line..
