Story Behind The Song
Originally, I was working on it as a gift to my neighbor who just had a baby. It was nearly finished, and I took my MAC and travel guitar to Lake Tahoe on vacation. Lo and behold, a licensing op came up from Broadjam that nearly mirrored what I was writing about. But it needed to be in by the next day. Several hours of scrambling and tracking a worktape, and it was ready to send off.

Lyrics
"My Baby Girl"
VS 1
Precious as gold, a joy to behold
Sweet bit of Heaven on Earth
Sent down to me on Angels' wings
I love you, my Baby Girl
VS2
Small hands and feet, wondrous to see
Beauty too precious for words
Right from the start, you captured my heart
I love you, my Baby Girl
BR
A bundle of love wrapped in blankets of pink
You're more than a treasure to me
VS3
Watching you sleep I can't help but think
Of dresses and ribbons and curls
But for today I'll hold you and say...
I love you, my Baby Girl
BR
A bundle of love wrapped in blankets of pink
You're more than a treasure to me
VS3
Watching you sleep I can't help but think
How I'd like to give you the world
But just for today I'll hold you and say...
I love you, my Baby Girl
I love you, my Baby Girl
