lyrics

You like to sing about how you'll never grow up and I hope it's true
because when you're this size it makes me realize just how much I love you
So baby keep singing loud and let your voice grow big and strong
because if one day I'm sad, and crying all alone I'll need you, to sing me this song.

Now baby, I know there are some things that you might not understand.
The world is not a perfect place, I'll explain it to you when I can.
I'll raise you, to love, be kind and treat people with respect
Compassion is truly precious even if it's the only thing you have left.

and baby, you are my cuddle bug, I'll snuggle with you all day
We'll hide under a rug and search for some dinosaurs now doesn't that sound great?
and Brandon, You are impervious to fear and dread it seems
and you're so smart I wouldn't be surprised if you already knew what impervious means.

Hey Brandon, you love to count so many numbers and other things too.
well, I bet you can't count all the of the many ways that I love you
It's a billion-jillion-katrillion and twenty two
and if you want to sit here and try to count that high, I'll sit right here with you.
