about

For my Daughter, Evelyn.

lyrics

You were cradled in my hands, head in the crook of my arm, you were falling asleep, to rhythm of my restless heart, and the patter of footsteps, and voices down the hall, I sigh with relief, as your heavy eyelids fall. Leaning back in my chair, with you on my chest, I keep reliving the moment I finally stopped holding my breath. When you opened your eyes, and cleared your lungs, we realized the rest of our lives had suddenly begun. Evelyn.

I’ve searched and left no stone unturned, just trying to find the perfect words, but there’s no lullaby or song I’ve heard that even comes in close. I’ve read books that broke my heart, laid my eyes on priceless works of art, no poet or philosopher ever put in down in prose. What I have come to know.

If you get my sense of humour, I hope you have her laugh, determination and grace, there’s no substitution for that. One day you’ll run, maybe one day you’ll sing, I know you’ll grow every day, it’s a bittersweet thing. So, I’ll make our time count, while there’s still time to dream, just remember one day to save a dance for me. Evelyn.

I’ve searched and left no stone unturned, just trying to find the perfect words, but there’s no lullaby or song I’ve heard that even comes in close. I’ve read books that broke my heart, laid my eyes on priceless works of art, no poet or philosopher ever put in down in prose. What I have come to know.
