Dalila Song

The Plain White T's song inspired me to choose the name Dalila for the baby. Brandon wanted to change the spelling. We can't help but sing this song all the time, so I thought I should change the lyrics a bit. Here is my version (changes in italics).

Hey there Dalila
What's it like inside my belly?
You’re a few days away
And girl, I bet you look so pretty
Yes you do
The sun can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Dalila
Don't you worry about the delivery
I'm right here when you get out
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you to me
chorus

Hey there Dalila
I know things are getting cramped
But just believe me, girl
Someday you’ll be out in the world
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Dalila
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your cries away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with you I’d fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
chorus

Six days seems pretty far
But they've got pitocin, forceps, and epidurals
I'd have a C-section if I had no other way
My friends would all make fun of me
and I'll just laugh along because I know
That some of them have felt this way
Dalila I can promise you
That by the time you get through
My body will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Dalila
You be good and don't you kick me
One more week and you'll be done incubating
And I'll be making breast milk like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever you want to
Hey there Dalila here's to you
This song's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
chorus
