Baby of Mine (1997)
I’ll have such joy
In watching you
Become
You’ll be graceful
And strong
You’ll be smart
And kind
You’ll touch leaves
And ask me questions
I cannot answer
You’ll be so sweet
While asleep
That I will pick you up
Just to feel you
You’ll grow so big
That I can’t lift you
You’ll bring home animals
We can’t keep
You’ll pit yourself
Against gravity & the world
You’ll hurt yourself
And cause me pain
You’ll show me new things everyday
You’ll do things I can’t do
And know things I don’t know
You’ll teach me patience
You’ll teach me French
And new songs
And games I knew long ago
You will see the world
And all it’s possibilities
Baby of mine
You will become
Everything and anything
Thank you
