Hi everyone! This one is about my two little girls, A.K.A. my "most special deliveries." I use the word "specialer" which is questionable but it sounded good in the song hahaha. Hope you like it.
When I was maybe two or three
It came - my first delivery
A flopsy doll with rope for hair
That I took with me everywhere
She sang, she played, she laughed my fears away
I thought nothing could top this day
At age 13 or was it twelve?
My doll was dusty on the shelf
A cheap electric black guitar
Saved my life and raised the bar
I sang, I played
I strummed my fears away
I thought nothing could top this day
Never thought I’d live to see
A specialer delivery
But even if I make to the year 2082
I know I’ll never see a more special delivery than you
Decades passed and then it came
The delivery that put the rest to shame
A beautiful new girl, who overturned my little world
Two years later I received
The final gift I’ll ever need
With my cheeks and daddy’s smile
Just like you’d been here all the while
You sang, you played, you laughed my fears away
I know nothing could top these days
I’ll never, ever live to see
A specialer delivery
Even if I make it to
The year 2082
I know i’ll never see a more special delivery than you
I never thought I’d live to see
A specialer delivery
Even if I make it to the year 2082
I know I’ll never see a more special delivery than you
sounds beautiful, thank you.

Thanks! haha I accidentally did the ending totally differently than I had just practiced two minutes ago so I cracked up but decided not to do another take. I figure I can polish it up later. :D

Thanks so much! I really wrestled with that word - maybe I should have gone all the way with "more specialer?" ;)
