I wrote this song last year for our first daughter, Anna, who is a treasure...
lyrics
FINE CHINA
My baby’s like fine china: beautiful and breakable
Just like some precious royal antique
And there is none finer, she is unmistakably
Hand-crafted, gorgeously unique
But fragile in these clumsy hands
When I break her, I hope she knows
That whether she laughs or cries,
She hypnotizes everything in her geography
And just like a tractor beam
She’s pulling me in closer than I ever thought I’d be
My baby’s like the nerve center: you know she feels everything
So I learn to be as gentle as a kiss
And there is none sweeter, she’s like sugar off the cane
I’m an ice cube just melting in her fist
Some day soon I’ll let her go
Oh, I hope she understands
That whether she laughs or cries,
She hypnotizes everything in her vicinity
And just like a tractor beam
She’s pulling me in closer than I ever thought I’d be
She’s got me...
