about

This song celebrates my daughter, born in 1985, the changes she went through and the very spunky attitude that carried her through her early days. It was such a delight, and challenge, as any parent can tell you and disappeared stunningly quickly.

I was strumming very simple key of C chords, used many times in many songs but freshened, I think, by the story told here.

lyrics

I couldn't believe my fortune I saw my baby girl
her crown the only part of her so far in this world

chorus:
I couldn't hold the tears back I didn't even try
it seemed so appropriate to cry to cry
it seemed so appropriate to cry cry cry

2.
I heard her speak her fist word there for her first step
I held her on her bicycle and suddenly she left
when I tried to guide her she didn't want my help
always was determined to do it by herself - chorus

3.
I told her once the rain went up after it came down
I had to hide my smile as she made that child face frown
she said the water from my hose washin on my car
would run down fast the driveway and soon be with the stars

chorus
