Baby blue eyes...

Baby blue eyes...

Once tiny hands wrapped around my big fingers, oh how the new born smell still lingers,
I can still picture her, sucking her thumb as a baby,
I'm so proud, she's growing up to be such a beautiful lady,

I know it's confusing times,
A teenager with a troubled mind,
Dad is still here with arms out wide,
Because I still see your baby blue eyes...

Next year will be her prom, her sister can't wait to do her hair,
Sometimes I can be wrong, but I know a princess will be there,
You're not a girl who likes all the glitz and glammer, you've even asked to wear a leather jacket,
If this makes you feel a bit like yourself so you don't feel uncomfortable, I just might let you have it.

I know we have our debates and our up's and down's, things can get a little stressful,
Sometimes it's hard living with two female's, to treat you like women, I can get forgetful,
I know I'm not perfect, but my love for you is a forever,
I'm coming to terms with you growing up and not living together,

I know it's confusing times,
A teenager with a troubled mind,
Dad is still here with arms out wide,
Because I still see your baby blue eyes...

We've been like the three musketeers, thick as thieves,
I love talking about the future and fulfilling your dreams,
I hope you travel the world, meet different people, see different stars in different skies,
Live your life, tell me your stories, show me the photos because I'll see your baby blue eyes.

When it's time to come home...
Dad is still here with arms out wide,
Because I still see, your baby blue eyes.

Hey WAYNE!!...I feel much the same way as Cherie here...... without the Awwww!!...... smiles.... but I find that this works so beautifully because of the repetition you deliver with the stanza that sings and leaps from the page almost musically!! ~

If ever the moon nursed
The sea the face

Surely would scorn me...

call it what you can...still

the first two sat in the den of their time
indulging in the memories
of a light a beam...
