Tonight I was rocking and nursing Griffin at bedtime and Rhys was listening to a Joe McDermott CD. For those that aren't up on kids' music, Joe is a goofy, local musician. The song Great, Big World came on. You really don't expect a silly kids' CD to provide any deep, life meaning. But I guess you never know what will remind you of how precious and fleeting these days are....
You’re just a baby now
Sleeping in your mamas arm
Someday you’ll be walking
And talking and running
And wanting to know everything
I know it’s going to happen to you
It happened to me
There are birds in the back yard
A crafty cat, and a friendly dog
So much to learn about
A big blue sky
A garden, trees to climb
So much to learn about
But you wont have to learn alone
CHORUS:
Some day I’m gonna hold your little hand
Walk around this great big world
BRIDGE:
There are bugs that bite, flies that light
Moon at night it’s a great big world
There are rainy days, sunny days,
Snow and wind and clouds in the sky
You’re just a baby now
Swinging from your daddy’s arm
Some day you’ll wear real clothes
We’ll play all day, we’ll walk out our front door
Into the mysterious world
Where everything’s new again
