Bio

Lyrics

My Beautiful, Sweet Baby

I suppose I could have been scared and sad today
This big mean world can take its toll, they say
Funny how it goes, from the earth will rise a rose

My beautiful, sweet baby
My beautiful, sweet baby…she rose

Fill your heart with words from stupid sappy songs
And jokes to make you laugh and hugs to help move tears along
And how he makes you feel that happiness is real

My beautiful, sweet baby
My beautiful, sweet baby…is real

Cherish the long road that got you here, but don’t look back
Just soak in all this love and, by the way, you look beautiful in Black

Two long and winding roads will merge and become one today
Sauté this mean old world in a big old pan and sprinkle with Old Bay
The River of light flows, beams shooting from your fingers and your toes

My beautiful, sweet baby
My beautiful, sweet baby
My beautiful, sweet baby…she glows
