I started writing this song not long after my granddaughter, Elsie, was born and today she turns 1 year old! How time flies. It is a collaboration with the amazing Tom Fox, who not only wrote the catchy chorus, but played all the instruments, produced, mixed and mastered the song.
Baby, You is about my relationship with my daughter, Siân, when she was a baby; Siân’s relationship with Elsie, as her mother and my relationship with Elsie, as ‘Nana’.
lyrics
I’ve never loved anyone like you
No one can do to me what you do
Ever since the day we met
I haven’t stopped loving you yet
Ooooo baby, you
I love your eyes and your button nose
Your skin so soft and your lips red like a rose
I could watch you sleep for hours
and I would rescue you from the tallest towers
Ooooo baby, you
CHORUS
I will never, ever leave you
even for one day
There is no one, no one like you
Baby, baby, you
BRIDGE
Mmm you’re one of a kind
Baby your love blows my mind
You can make the iciest heart melt
You make life complete
with your tiny little feet on my chest
it’s the best feeling I’ve ever felt
When I hold you in my arms
The stormy sea inside me calms
You’re the cherry on the top
I swear my heart is going to pop
Ooooo baby, you
CHORUS
Ooooo baby, you
