Evelyn Video (MV)

You were cradled in my hands
Head in the crook of my arm
You were falling asleep
To rhythm of my restless heart
And the patter of footsteps
And voices down the hall
I sigh with relief as your heavy eyelids fall
Leaning back in my chair
With you on my chest
I keep reliving the moment I finally stopped holding my breath
When you first opened your eyes
And cleared your lungs
We realized the rest of our lives had suddenly begun

E-E-E-Evelyn

I've searched and left no stone unturned
Just trying to find the perfect words
But there's no lullaby or song I've heard that even comes in close
I've read books that broke my heart
Laid my eyes on priceless works of art
No poet or philosopher has ever put in down in prose
What I have come to know

If you get my sense of humour
I hope you have her laugh
Determination and grace
There's no substitution for that
One day you'll run maybe one day you'll sing
I know you'll grow every day
It's a bittersweet thing
So I'll make our time count
While there's still time to dream
Just remember one day to save a dance for me

E-E-E-Evelyn

I've searched and left no stone unturned
Just trying to find the perfect words
But there's no lullaby or song I've heard that even comes in close
I've read books that broke my heart
Laid my eyes on priceless works of art
No poet or philosopher has ever put in down in prose
What I have come to know

E-E-E-Evelyn
