about
A positive, "sparkly" song, dedicated to my daughter and all parents to girls.
Certainly the most major-keyed song I've written but beneath the seemingly simple melody, the harmony is pretty interesting, with some jazzy elements.
I also like how the guitar melody and solo came out and the lyrics.
My daughter loves this song, too, so that's the biggest win.
lyrics
Seven years and seven months
Since you’ve arrived into my life
Ooh, baby, it’s been a jolly time
With unicorns and rainbows it’s been rife
Seven years and seven months
Since it was your first today
Your smile is brighter than the sun
For me. Baby, all I wanna say
Stay as you are
Happy and free
And, baby, stay close to me
Seven years and seven months
And many more lie ahead
We are always present here for you
Making sure that you don’t feel alone or sad
Seven years and seven months
But life is not a child’s play. I know
You’ll travel far and make new friends
But hear, baby, all I wanna say
Stay as you are
Happy and free
And, baby, stay close to me
