Baby Talk
(c) 2008, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett (ASCAP)
I remember Mama saying
She never wanted a mansion on a hill
Cause the happiest times in her life
were rockin' us on the porch when we were little still
Chorus:
Talkin' baby talk
with so much love in every phrase
While she got us dressed - and combed our hair
She told us stories about the good ol' days
She'd fix our food and feed us
Then wipe our hands and face
And when evening came - tuck us in a warm bed
Knowing precious time had slipped away
Well I never understood that
Till I had a little toe-head of my own
Now I've got everything I need
behind these lace curtains of our country home
Chorus:
Talkin' baby talk
With so much love in every phrase
While I get her dressed - and comb her hair
I tell her stories about the old days
I fix her food and feed her
then wipe her hands and face
And when evening comes - tuck her in a warm bed
Knowing precious time has slipped away
Bridge:
My little girl's a mother now
And guess you could say I'm middle-aged
And my mama still rocks in her old chair
When I visit I spend most of the day
Chorus:
Talkin' baby talk
With so much love in every phrase
While I get her dressed - and comb her hair
I tell her stories about the old days
I fix her food and feed her
then wipe her hands and face
And when evening comes - tuck her in a warm bed
Knowing precious time has slipped away
Outtro:
time is slipping away...
