🎵 “My Little Lily”
(Verse 1)
There’s a quiet in the house I didn’t know before
Tiny shoes lined up by the door
Baby laughs drifting down the hall
I swear time’s moving too fast for us all
You fit so perfect in my arms
Little heartbeat, little charm
Soft brown curls and sleepy sighs
Whole wide world in your eyes
(Pre-Chorus)
They say the last one hits you slow
‘Cause you finally understand letting go
(Chorus)
Oh Lillian, my little Lily
You’re the last piece of my heart, sweet and silly
Tiny hands wrapped tight round mine
Wish I could freeze this moment in time
You’re my last baby, my sunset sky
The reason these old tough eyes cry
When you smile at me so freely
You’ll always be my little Lily
(Verse 2)
I’ve rocked you late past midnight blue
Singing soft just me and you
Truck tires humming far away
But home’s right here where you lay
Your tiny boots will someday grow
Outrun the halls you barely know
You’ll chase big dreams on your own two feet
But right now you’re small and safe with me
(Pre-Chorus)
And every first is bittersweet
‘Cause I know they won’t repeat
(Chorus)
Oh Lillian, my little Lily
You’re the last piece of my heart, sweet and silly
Tiny hands wrapped tight round mine
Wish I could freeze this moment in time
You’re my last baby, my sunset sky
The reason these old tough eyes cry
When you smile at me so freely
You’ll always be my little Lily
(Bridge)
One day some boy will hold your hand
And I’ll try my best to be a bigger man
But he won’t know what I know deep —
How you’d fall asleep on my chest so sweet
No matter how tall you grow to be
You’ll always be that baby to me
(Final Chorus – Soft & Big)
Oh Lillian, my little Lily
You made this rough old world feel pretty
From your first breath to your first steps
You’re my favorite chapter yet
You’re my last baby, that’s plain to see
A gift God saved especially for me
And even when you’re grown up really
You’ll always be my little Lily
(Outro)
So I’ll hold you close while I still can
Before you’re too big for these hands
Time moves fast but love stays steady
Daddy’s girl… forever my Lily.
