about

Written for a friend of mine who now has a precious lovely daughter.

lyrics

Pickin' flower pedals, yes or no, I keep saying things to make it go away
Momma's belly's growing, chest is full, time's erasin' what my future had in lay

My whole world's closing in
The time is right but right now I don't know
Which direction to go in
Whether to stop or let the child grow

Walkin' down the street I keep on thinkin' at the end, what are they all going to say?
Hard to handle, hard to think about it, all that I know, there's a price you have to pay

My whole world's closing in
The time is right but right now I don't know
Which direction to go in
Whether to stop or let the child grow

Baby Hannah's in my life
Not a day goes by that I thank god I have you
With you right here by my side
All I wanna to is wrap my arms around you

Pickin' flower pedals, yes or no, I keep saying things to make it go away
Momma's belly's growing, chest is full, time's erasin' what my future had in lay

My whole world's closing in
The time is right but right now I don't know
Which direction to go in
Whether to stop or let the child grow

Baby Hannah's in my life
Not a day goes by that I thank god I have you
With you right here by my side
All I wanna to is wrap my arms around you
