Lyrics
Here in the Middle
© 2025 by Maria Clymer Kurtz
We were rocking our baby after dinner
The telephone rang; my dad was dying
I kissed you both and grabbed a suitcase
Praying I’d make it in time
Maybe I cried a little, driving up dad’s lane
Maybe he’ll never know
Maybe it’s hard to live caught in the middle
Holding tight and letting go
A fierce fourteen, she smiled over her shoulder
The bus driver closed the door
I always knew that she’d get older
But I never believed it before
Maybe I cried a little, walking up the lane
Maybe she’ll never know
Maybe it’s hard to live caught in the middle
Holding tight and letting go
Could you see, when you first said “I love you”
Who I would be today
Lost and found, with so many pieces
Scattered along the way
Maybe I’ve cried a little, growing up with you
Only you will ever know
Baby, let’s try to live here in the middle
Holding tight and letting go
And maybe we’ve cried a little, through the years
Only we will ever know
But baby, we’ll try to live here in the middle
Holding tight and letting go
Holding tight and letting go
