As all the old timers here will realise, I have been MIA for a few years, but now something has happened in my life that has changed it forever. I now have a two week old grand daughter and that has been enough to stir the writer in me, so here is my latest lyric....



She is Hope


VERSE ONE

It rained and rained for days and days
but the weather broke when she was born

With jet black hair and skinny legs
her pretty face arrived in the morn'

CHORUS

She is loved
she is soft as soap
she's cherished
She is Hope


VERSE TWO

Her tiny nose and wrinkly toes
a perfect babe in every way
Her dark black eyes brimmed with surprise
A miracle has come to stay

CHORUS

She is loved
She is soft as Soap
She's cherished
She is Hope


BRIDGE

Her father loves her
And her mother loves her strong
Her nanny loves her
And her Poppa loves her so much that he even wrote this song


CHORUS

She is loved
She is soft as soap
She's cherished
She is Hope




Ive got the melody and rhthym in mind for this and will most likely present it as a very stripped back accoustic song to let the words shine through as the strength of the song.  Hope you like it. ( pardon the pun )

 Well well well Mr. SF  ;D ;D ;D .  How the devil are you old chap ;D .  So nice to see you back amongst us again....
 Big congrats on the birth of your grandchild....your first??   The lyrics are great and I look forward to hearing the song.
 I remember writing a song for the birth of my first grandson, about 6/7 years ago, you might remember it.  'Grandads Song'...of course ;D ;D
 I don't often get moved to put lyrics together...but a grandchild is a truly joyous event, and creating a song to celebrate it is a righteous thing to
 do.....you're going to be a really good Grandad, and she will love you more than anyone else........

 Great to see you back mate ;D ;D

Nowt as queer as folk...........my gran
