Beautiful Girl

(album: Slugs & Bugs & Lullabies - 2008)

I've got you swaddled and I've got your bottle
And you're too loud to ignore
Your mama is sleeping
The angels are keeping
So cry no more

Hey beautiful girl
Daddy loves you, he loves you
Most beautiful girl in the whole wide world

The stars are all shining, the birds are reclining
The squirrels are all nestled down
The trees in the forest are joining the chorus
And swaying to the sound

Hey beautiful girl
Daddy loves you, he loves you
Most beautiful girl in the whole wide world

I know that moons rise, and time flies
And sweet little girls get older
But when your tooth aches or your heart breaks
Will you still cry on my shoulder?

Hey beautiful girl
Daddy loves you, he loves you
Most beautiful girl in the whole wide world
