lyrics
Hey there, little one, you and I don’t share blood, but I have known your mom for a long time. I have seen her cry through sorrows of the deepest kind and shake and laugh to tears just as often.
Everyone knows from the way she plays song, she’s force of nature. I always knew from the way she talked she wasn’t afraid of much.
Hey there, little one, life can be so sweet, I hope that you discover
Hey there, little one, I don’t have to tell you, you will come to all this on your own
The year I met your mom an early snow buried all the cars and took down the heavy branches of old, big trees around the neighborhood that hadn’t thrown off their leaves yet. I was in love with a boy with gold-rimmed glasses, whose best friend was living with your mother nearby.
One night they just showed up asking for a broom and I marched with them through the ivy and darkness. We drank tea among your mother’s things while she was out of town, we swept the checkered floors and talked into the night.
Hey there, little one, life can be so sweet, I hope that you discover.
Hey there, little one, I don’t have to tell you, you will come to all this on your own.
Things went up then down then down with the boys but your mom and I stayed friends. Years went by, then she writes why don’t you come to NY, we should try and write some songs.
I slept on the couch and every day we played music like we were kids again. 18-inch snow turned to people in lawn chairs at the edge of the park.
I went home and you started casting spells to help your mother find your father. On the phone one day she mentions she thinks she’s found the One.
Hey there, little one, life can be so sweet, I hope that you discover.
Hey there, little one, I don’t have to tell you, you will come to all this on your own.
Now you are fast asleep both arms up by your head and your mom has had a chance catch her breath. In a few days I’ll be headed home again.
We organize and she tells me about the night you were born. She says nothing prepares you for the pain or what comes after. Nothing prepares you for the pain or what comes after.
Hey there, little one, life can be so sweet, I hope that you discover.
Hey there, little one, I don’t have to tell you, you will come to all this on your own.
