about

This is a song I wrote for my son Ethan on his 4th birthday.

lyrics

My little Ethan I can't believe you're speakin'
I've been writing this song in my mind for weeks and weeks and
Months go by, weekdays and lots of weekends
I gotta get it out so you can hear it through the speakers
My little Ethan, into the room you're sneakin'
You're coming in with that cheeky grin, you're creepin'
And when things don't go your way, yup you're weepin'
Or that's what you want us to think
You caught us sleepin'
And the world is so new and exciting
So inviting, I'm imagining that smile as I'm writing this
you're lookin round to see who's payin' attention, a real jokester, sharp as a tack not to mention
your love for hide and seek
Ideas you try to speak
And the way you put those steps together was quite a feat, quite a treat to watch you grow
And this I surely know That you're gonna keep shining I can see it in your glow so...

My little Ethan, what's that you eatin'
You dropped your cookie on the floor
and now you're freakin
Your eyes close tight, you frown, your body weakens
Collapse on the floor once more, it's worth repeating
Nothing can stop you when you want "Mo' Mickey Mouse"
Those tantrums were real when we pulled your binky out
You like to shake your head and yell "no" with a big grin
You love to dunk, shoot, kick, it's slick how you always win
Hungry hippos plus those magnet tiles
Build a city out of lego that could take a while
We give a yard but you take a mile, how does he do it with that cheeky smile?
You’re always changing, I’ve been rearranging
While staring deep into the truth
that I’m engaging
Your mom and dad love you even when you’re raging, And Eva and Julia too (so amazing sample)

My little Ethan I can’t believe you’re three and
I’m watching with pride as you grow every season,
Years go by and there must be a reason
Why this song has been hard to write despite my freedom

My little Ethan you’re growing up and reaching new heights as you’re learning what your family’s teaching, our time together is exactly what I’m needing, we curled up on the couch with a book and started reading
This time is important I can’t believe you’re four and I’ve been watching you walk and talk more and more and
You love those dinosaurs what’s mine is yours, your opportunities will come in time just find the doors, and walk right through, so you can find some more, tomorrow’s never promised, live your life, time is short!
I said walk right through so you can find some more, tomorrow’s never promised, live your life, time is short!
