A song about that special 'stuffed friend' we all had growing up...and may still have.
I wrote this one day after I hosted a collectible teddy bear show on QVC. It was inspired by several emotional calls I took from viewers as well as my own memories.
More Than A Teddy Bear

Verse:
You know all my secrets and never tell.
You know my victories and failures all too well.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
Youre what I was and who I ammore than a teddy bear.
When there were monsters underneath my bed,
Youd smile and tell me not to fret and Id dream of you instead.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
Youre what I was and who I ammore than a teddy bear.
Chorus:
Youre part of my childhood I keep with me today.
When life gets too serious, its always time to play.
Part of my childhood and part of why I care,
You remind me of lifes gentler sidemore than a teddy bear.
Verse:
Most folks that I know say that youre just a toy.
They dont believe in fantasy and theyll never know the joy.
You listen to my every word and you always show you care.
Youre what I was and who I ammore than a teddy bear.
Chorus:
Youre part of my childhood I keep with me today.
When life gets too serious, its always time to play.
Part of my childhood and part of why I care,
You remind me of lifes gentler sidemore than a teddy bear.
