Youtubin'...

I started writing this about 6 months ago when 3 of my friends were having little girls. Not all of them were having the easiest time emotionally, hence the "love is all we need". So here's to baby Ava, baby Sophia, and baby Addasyn!



PRECIOUS PEARL, MY LITTLE GIRL
LOVE IS ALL WE NEED
TINY ONE, MY SUGARPLUM
LOVE IS ALL WE NEED

SOFT BREATH OF HEAVEN
BRIGHT ANGEL EYES
SWEET PEA, CURLS TO YOUR FEET
YOU'RE DIVINE, ALL MINE

GROW ARMS OF MERCY
GIVE ALL YOU TAKE
SING LAUGH, LEARN HOW TO DANCE
IN THE RAIN, FIND GRACE

I think it's funny when single people are really cocky about how great they are and how anyone would be "lucky" to have them. Self-confidence is one thing, but self-awareness is another. So I wrote a little ditty after listening to some funny old Rosemary Clooney songs one day...



YOU'RE RIPE FOR THE PICKIN'
DON'T RUN LIKE THE DICKENS
JUST BE MY TURTLE DOVE

MY VOICE IS ELASTIC
MY CHEST IS FANTASTIC
AND LOOK WHO'S LOOKIN' FOR LOVE

I'LL DRESS EXOTIC
YA FLAUNT WHEN YOU GOT IT
I'LL BE YOUR TURTLE DOVE

I'LL COOK LIKE YOUR MOTHER
MY BUNS ALWAYS BUTTERED
YEAH LOOK WHO'S LOOKIN' FOR LOVE

MY LIPS PAINTED CHERRY
DON'T MIND IF YOU'RE HAIRY
JUST BE MY TURTLE DOVE

YOU BRING HOME THE BACON
AND I'LL DO THE FAKIN'
LOOK WHO'S LOOKIN' FOR LOVE
