Declan’s Song (The Good Life)
© Maria Dunn, 2004
Horns arranged Jeremiah McDade
When your daddy sings you lullabies
Your mommy smiles into your eyes
They cradle you, keep you warm
They're smitten by your tiny form
Then you know it's a good life
Oh it's a good life
There's wonder in the way you move
How every day brings something new
Your personality revealed
Hey baby, you're the real deal
And you know it's a good life
Oh it's a good life
When you're sleeping sound
Or waking loud
Breathing in the world
Your fingers curled
It'll never be the same
Now you’re in the game
And hearts have been unfurled
When your mommy sings you lullabies
Your daddy smiles into your eyes
They cradle you, keep you warm
They're smitten by your tiny form
Then you know it's a good life
Oh it's a good life
Welcome to the good life!
