Song information
Late last year, my wife and I were lucky to have our first child arrive safe and healthy. Caring for her and watching her grow has been a total joy but all-consuming; somehow, between all of the feeds, diaper changes and endless rounds of laundry/bottle cleanings, I stole enough time to keep up with my music addiction and put together this song.
Other quick notes:
- The melody ended up being something of a lullaby, which seems fitting
- Alternate tunings are a great cure for musician's block - this is in open D
- I have officially entered the truly saccharine phase of my songwriting career, apologies if the lyrics make anyone throw up in their mouth

Lyrics
Growing smile 
On sleeping face
Last hour’s tears
Gone without a trace 

Kicking and twisting
Once felt from inside
Now takes place 
In open space
As we watch bleary eyed 

When you take shape from the clay of creation 
Who will you be?
As you form through the days and the years
I hope you stay close to me 

She’s tiny now
But changing fast
Can’t look away 
Cause I know this won't last 

When you take shape from the clay of creation 
Who will you be?
As you form through the days and the years
I hope you stay close to me 

Time don’t take her away from me...

Who will she be? We don’t know, but growing up in a loving family will be a gift she’ll always cherish. A wonderful and wise song my friend, something we all could use more of. Congrats and Many Cheers!
