Heart Strings and Becoming a Father
There is no prescription for preparing to be a dad but some songs pull at the heart strings. Seeing as I am a huge Ben Folds fan, "Gracie" is such a warm song that gets me so excited. I cannot wait to be a father to my daughter. With that, I will leave you with the lyrics.
"You can't fool me, I saw you when you came out
You got your momma's taste but you got my mouth
And you will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever going to see
Gracie girl
With your cards to your chest walking on your toes
What you got in the box only Gracie knows
And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn't really want to be
Gracie girl
Life flies by in seconds
You're not a baby Gracie, you're my friend
You'll be a lady soon but until then
You gotta do what I say
You nodded off in my arms watching TV
I won't move you an inch even thought my arm's asleep
One day you're gonna want to go
I hope we taught you everything you need to know
Gracie girl
And there will always be a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see but you and me
My little girl
My Gracie girl"
