Intro 
La-la-la La-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la La-la-la 
La-la La-la La-la 

As I watched our baby enter this world, 
I smiled at my wife with joy. 
Then the nurse came over and asked, 
Would you like to hold your boy? 

There he was cuddled in my arms, 
Just tryin ' to stay warm and dry. 
So I started to sing to him, 
As he began to cry. 

It 's okay to cry my son, 
It 's okay to weep. 
Just promise me one last smile, 
Before you fall asleep. 

And it 's okay to dream my boy, 
It 's okay to think. 
But before you learn how to fly, 
You surely must learn how to sink. 

So I 'll be with you little one, 
As you grow from boy to man. 
And I 'll teach you everything, 
Like only your daddy can. 

As the first year flew on by, 
He learned to crawl across the floor. 
I awed as he pulled himself up 
Just eager to learn more and more. 

I don 't know what made me turn my head, 
But I let out a great big sigh. 
After taking his very first steps, 
He fell and began to cry. 

La-la-la La-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la La-la-la 
La-la La-la La-la 

Today my boy turned three years old, 
He looked up and said to me. 
You are my best buddy dad, 
With a grin as big as can be. 

I started to turn away, 
As the tears filled my eyes. 
But in my head I heard that song, 
Which I sang, as he watched me cry. 

It 's okay to cry my son, 
It 's okay to weep. 
Just promise me one last smile, 
Before you fall asleep. 

And it 's okay to dream my boy, 
It 's okay to think. 
But before you learn how to fly, 
You surely must learn how to sink. 

So I 'll be with you little one, 
As you grow from boy to man. 
And I 'll teach you everything, 
Like only your daddy can.

Pay attention to these lyrics if you write about family and emotions. It's easy to sense the genuine feeling of these words. Your senses can help you as a writer, giving substance to your intellect. A good writer draws on many levels of experience to captivate the reader. I like the underlying use of singing throughout. This seems to soften the emotion of the sometimes overwhelming awe of a new life. The use of a lullaby is a wonderful venue for the wonder of a child. I think a predominant acoustic guitar with a soft melodic background bass would work well here. Yes, and maybe "soft" strings too.

Nice work Michael Taub, we sure would like to see more.
