about

I wrote this song on the day our first daughter turned 6 months old.

lyrics

6 months today, and not a day has passed us by
We haven’t thought this was the best time of our lives
Since 3 weeks into January you caught us by surprise
Now it’s the 21st of July

6 months today since we first heard our baby cry
When all the world was first beheld through wondering eyes
I held your tiny hand, and you held onto mine
Right then I knew that we’d get by

Little love, tell us what did we do
To deserve all the joy of loving you?
Half a year, but this is just the start of something new
Little love, happy 21st of July

Just the other day, after the grind of 9 to 5
When I walked in your face lit up in sweet surprise
I wondered how I’d won the world’s most stunning smile
That smile puts everything to rights

Little love, tell us what did we do?
It feels just like we were made for loving you
No surprise, ‘cause we all come from one who loves you too
Little love, happy 21st of July

The days are longer now, the sun will stay up late
Baby we’ve got a lot of things to celebrate
It’s not conventional, but this song couldn’t wait
So happy 21st of July
Happy 21st of July
Happy 21st of July
