Babe

Written after seeing my niece when I was on vacation to Michigan. Written for someone special.

I don’t know how to say what it is on my mind
I don’t know how to express the impact you’ve had on me
I don’t know how to describe the way you make me feel
I don’t know how to explain the reasons that my feelings for you are special

Would you stop crying, if I picked my baby up
Would you stop and look around, as I woke you from your slumber
Would you try to squirm away, and make me put you down
Would you look up at me and smile, knowing that I love you

Baby girl, there’s a world out there that we can get through together
Baby girl, did you know that there are times when the world tries to hurt you
Have ever wondered what is on the other side of the gate was there to protect you
Babe, could you ever imagine a world where we could be together

I didn’t know how to tell you, that you mean the world to me
I decided that I need to show you instead, and hope you understand
I can’t keep you from the pain, but I’ll help you heal and move on the best I can
I always will remember the first time our eyes met, the way that my heart skipped
