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!
