about

This song is about my daughter

lyrics

Small hand holding mine
Small eyes looking up at me
I see so much trust; I hope I deserve it
I didn’t have to earn it

Small nose is crusty again
Our carpet is covered in pen
I see your creations on the fridge and the wall
And I love them all, every one, every one

Don’t clear up the mess just yet
It still feels like we’ve just met
Right now I can say you’re mine
But I know one day I’ll have to let you go

There’s stickers in my pajamas
There’s coco pocks (sic) inside my bed
Swinging on the cupboard door ‘till it breaks off
Always learning, every day, every day

There’s pieces and bits on the chair and the floor
And this wooden railway has been here before
The dolls are all catching the train to the see
While the mouse café’s serving hot cups of tea

Bear and giraffe are still sat in their den
We have to be quiet as they’re sleeping again
Now let’s read a story with Kanga and Roo
If I ask you nicely can I play too?

Don’t grow up too soon, too fast
Let your childhood linger, last
For right now I can say you’re mine
But I pray every day you’ll find someone who loves you as much as I do
