Songs to Baby

Early into my maternity leave with Brianna, I fell in love with a song that in listening to the lyrics, I find truly fitting for a parent/child. I know it's a love song, but it talks all about having a solid place to go to when one needs support and the levels of unconditional love that a parent provides a child. The song is Leona Lewis's "I Got You." I first heard of the song while watching my favorite dancer on the show So You Think You Can Dance during my pregnancy (the season finale occurred when Bree was approximately 2 weeks old). I love the dance and the song, so I thought I would share.......

I Got You – Leona Lewis

A place to crash, I got you

No need to ask, I got you

Just get on the phone, I got you

Come and pick you up if I have to

What's weird about it is we're right at the end

I'm mad about it, just figured it out in my head

I'm proud to say I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better, for worse I got you, I got you

Ain't falling apart or bitter

Let's be bigger than that and remember

The cooling outdoor when you're all alone

Won't survive it, no drama, no need for a show

Just wanna say I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better, for worse I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better, for worse, I got you

'Cause this is love and life

And nothing we can both control

And if it don't feel right

You're not losing me by letting me know

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better, for worse I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright

Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright

And when you need a place to run to

For better, for worse I got you
A place to crash, I got you

No need to ask, I got you
