Baby Boy 

Written by: Jo Young 

There's a new deal going on around here
A Change for the good
And nothing can prepare you for the feeling
And nothing ever could
No you won't read about it in the paper
Though it happens every day
When a child comes into your life it makes it ordinary
In an extraordinary way
A new part of life's unfolding mystery
As motherhood changes the core of me

Sweet downy head
Soft little cheeks
Starfish in my bed
I could gaze at you for weeks
Baby Boy

I can't say that it's been easy
It's the hardest thing I've ever done
The black dog has bitten me more than twice as I've been transformed into a mum

But in dark times when I have lost all reasoning
One look at your tiny bum can make me sing

You're learning to crawl
Your blue eyes so deep
We're having a ball
You ruin my sleep
Baby Boy

And one day I know you'll move away from me
Til then I will cherish every moment, every second of your company

You're learning to walk
Little Thunderbird Feet
You're starting to talk
You're speaking to me
Baby

Most extraordinary little wonder
Little miracle
Gorgeous little bundle 
got me working like a servant
you funny little fellow
I'm in heaven
Oh the smell of you
Your arms around my neck
Your milky breath
I'd give my life for you.
Baby Boy
