Stacey Earle - What a Wonderful Life Lyrics

Little baby please don't cry
How can I help you
If I don't know why
We have so much to learn

First words you're a daddy's boy
Your mama knows
You're just making noise
I'm here to sing your lullabies

First step, we all fall down
Around the room
We go spinning around
Running fast, jump real high
Oh what a wonderful life

First day you seem so scared
First grade so many there
And, as she reached out
She took your hand

She took you places far away
Adding up all your days
Oh, my, how the years
Just flew on by

Everything now seems real cool
Walking in line with every rule
Making friends
And they seem real nice

We all gather on this day
We watch our children graduate
I sit and watch
The tears go by

I need to buy a special gift
Somethin' that he'll call "his"
Somethin' that will say
How much I love, I love you, I love you

Here's a baby and she'll move real fast
An oil change should make her last
She'll take you far
If you treat her right
